Enter the haunted bayou if you dare! A scary halloween front yard wouldn't be complete without a fun hand made wood sign like this mossy Bayou sign, dripping with moss and creepy cloth. The sign invites passersby to hourly alligator feedings... but there's something oddly bloody about this ominous sign, particularly that second part about entering at your own risk!
Paint the unfinished long wood rustic sign with watered down brown paint to create a stained effect.
Use a paintbrush and white paint to add lettering of your choice. Our sign will read, "Gator Feedings Every Hour, Enter at Your Own Risk".
Twist natural cord into a small coil and hot glue to the reverse side of the sign, creating two lengths that attach the top sign to the bottom sign. Do the same to add a hanger to the top of the sign.
Trim an uneven bit of creepy cloth and hot glue to the back of the bottom sign so that it drapes and hangs like creepy swamp life.
Mix a bit of red acrylic paint with water, then use a chubby paintbrush to splatter it around the surface of the bottom sign.
Hang the completed sign crookedly from the branch of a creepy tree, like this Deadwood animatronic tree, that sways and moves as its eyes glow and it speaks in a ghoulish voice.
