Video Quality Issues? Try watching in 4K! 😀 All the chicken wire broke KZfaq's compression so the quality looks rough at 1080p.
------------------------------------
Halloween is almost here!! 🎃 We make lots of DIY Halloween Props for our yard haunt and our newest project is a glowing chicken wire ghost! We used chicken wire and an old mannequin to create a DIY chicken wire ghost using basic tools like pliers and wire snips. We hung the chicken wire ghost with fishing line so it looks like the ghost is floating, and then gave her a Halloween lantern to hold that we found at Goodwill®. We painted her with some glow in the dark spray paint and then shined some halloween lights on her at night to get her to glow. For a finishing touch, we added some fog with our fog machine to create an amazing effect that our neighborhood kids say is the best halloween prop we've made yet. 👻
After building dozens of cool projects, we have to say, this is one of the EASIEST DIY HALLOWEEN PROPS we've ever made. It really just takes basic chicken wire and some basic tools and really didn't take that long at all.
If you'd like to make your very own DIY halloween chicken wire ghost , we encourage you to give this easy Halloween project a try!

Chicken Wire - amzn.to/39VESpc

Thanks for watching! If you're having quality issues, try watching in 1440p or 2160p. We found that all the chicken wire made the compression quality on KZfaq lower than usual but the 4K quality fixed it. :) You're all awesome. Have an awesome Halloween! 🎃💀👻

In response to the "Do people make chicken clothes?" I worked with a crazy, old lady who made "duck clothes". In total disbelief, I asked, multiple times, if they were actually clothes that people put on ducks. She said yes and brought in all sorts of odd outfits as proof. Months later, one of our coworkers was going on and on about how great they were and how cute their duck was in the the old lady's latest "Batman Halloween" outfit. I couldn't believe that the crazy had spread to others, so I pulled her aside and questioned her. After she stopped laughing, she informed me that the ducks were stone statues people put in their gardens, and that the "Batman" outfit was the same exact outfit as all the others, only the fabric was a repeating pattern of the old Adam West Batman symbol.

I saw her at a garage sale a couple weeks ago and she was so excited to see me and she told me about another sale with some stuff she thought I could make into new props.

Blinking amazing! And here's a small thought from me. I grew up in the northern Ribble Valley of England near Pendle Hill. It is is near here that ten women and men were accused of witch craft, being ultimately hung at the county town of Lancaster in 1612 CE. As a child the story scared and intrigued me, made all the more poignant by the snow witch that appeared on the aforementioned hill during some winters. It is a sad tale which should warn us about the dangers of persecution and ignorance in this modern age. Look it up if you are interested. Good show, I loved your creation and keep up the good work. I will take a look back when I can. Ad altiora!

Very nice! The hair and tattered dress were awesome! I think you would have gotten better results with blacklight reactive UV-A acrylic paint... They sell them in many colors, I think if you base coat the chicken wire matte black and then sparsely spray some of that paint over it, then illuminate with a blacklight bulb (maybe even use the blacklight bulb in the lantern!), you might be able to lose the chicken wire hexagons a bit more... Also, I would loosely attach the arms and then suspend them from different smaller branches to let the wind articulate them...
