 We just made this witch's broom signpost in about an hour, and we'll show you how we did it right now What is up a welcome back do like to do a builder to make it so do we and we have a new video Each week this week and get on your brooms and ride because our front porch decor for Halloween is taking off We're starting our fall season We're gonna start making all kinds of fun fall projects, and we're starting with a Halloween project Halloween is our favorite Project or crafting or just season. It's our favorite season. It is it is we love to decorate our house for Halloween Out we have a giant spider that takes up like the whole roof that overlooks Yes, yes, we've we've won a house decorating contest a time or two And so it's always fun to just add more stuff out there in our front porch We have a room filled or just dedicated a closet. Yes. Well, it is like a room. It's a walk-in closet Yes to the brim with Halloween decorations. So why not add just one more? I was in the store the other day and already have seen some Halloween things out and I saw this cute little broom Standard was like a witch's broom, but a witch's sign. We've done something similar in the past for fall So I thought flimsy though look flimsy Well, oh you mean when we did it ourselves like back in the day The one in the store looked flimsy. Yeah, it definitely did it definitely did So I that inspired us to make our own version of this which is going to be taller bigger better Stronger scarier So that's what we're gonna make a standing witch's broom Street time street Ports gonna have it's gonna have some air. Oh, yeah, I guess yeah signpost signpost. There you go Step one we're gonna gather all of our supplies. We need a one by two But only 52 inches of one and you'll use our witch's broom signpost kit Which we've just put in our store. So it's a new kit for the fall We need some paints some wood glue some three-quarter inch brad nails and then We purchased a little package of this Raffia at Michaels that we'll use to Cover the stand and make the bottom of the broom. Yeah, make it usable Step two We're gonna make all over cut. It's just one cut one by two down to a broom size or 52 inches Do you think how you brought that prop just for this little shot? What am I doing safety first Kim safety first Garrett now we paint we are we're gonna paint all of our little pieces We have all of our words and all of our little backers Now we're just gonna paint them all and we're gonna paint our one by two. What colors are one by two gonna be dark brown Kathy All right, we're gonna be using some exterior house paint We love our country chic paints, but it's a chalk paint and take some sealing this already has exterior sealant in it And there's no sealing to be done. No spray that has to be done after the fact. It's gonna be outside It's gonna be getting all the weather all those trick-or-treaters. These little rollers are great They'll paint in minutes a roll of this blue painters tape is a great tool to have if you're doing any of these little DIY kits you'll put this blue tape face up sticky side up You'll put your little pieces on here and then you can paint right over them And they never walk away while you're trying to paint them You don't have to try to hold them and get paint all over your fingers You can order any of our kits with or without the paint kit to go along with it all the colors will come with it Step four a time to assemble it We're gonna start by assembling all of our little pieces like the witch's hat and all little And we're gonna use this star bond thick it's the thick stuff really holds He seems to be adamant that he wants to use the thick stuff I love the thick stuff, but it doesn't have to be can use the blue version. It works just as well Everything has score marks so we know exactly where they go and we're gonna glue inside the score marks Instead of trying to glue all of our little pieces and move them to the signpost You might drip along the way and my little glue tip is do little dots You can do little glue dipping dots here and that will keep it nice and neat You don't have to be as precise as old Garrett over there And you want to push each letter in because if you just set it on top of that glue It'll float away. It'll float. That's right. You'll look and it'll have slid off its score marks Travel down the sign You look scary his mouth come out. Yeah, my witch's hat So good. Yeah. Yeah Now we're gonna add all of our little sign pieces the hat and the spider and everything With a little bit of wood glue and a three-quarter inch bread the nail not the guy We're gonna start 15 inches from the bottom and just working our way up, right? Yeah, the rest of it's kind of just eyeballing it. I'm gonna try to place a nail in an inconspicuous place on each side Now we're gonna attach the base. This base comes in the kit. It just slides together You go it's got a little base. I think we can make it permanent by putting some gorilla glue in there Yeah, yeah, you could easily add some glue and then the base wouldn't fall off when you move it Yeah, but we made it extra sturdy feet. So hopefully it won't fall over too easily I mean, I guess if it gets crazy windy, it'll fall over, but Step five and now we add the accents. We're gonna add a bow using some zip ties and this hay It's Raffia Raffia. I got the large pack. It comes folded in a Trifold three pieces. Yeah, I've not done this before Look, I'm like Raffia Machio Okay, here's what I think I'm going to do. I think we're gonna the plan Is we're gonna fold this in half. I'm gonna do some cleanup here in a minute. Mm-hmm I'll get I'll go doubles it tie on this and then I want to just kind of wrap it around the pole a little bit Yeah, uh-huh. Yeah Picking up what you're putting down There you go, look at that Whoa How tight do you want it? Yeah, I'll trim these off So I have two zip ties, two large zip ties together. Double zip and give the old double zip Yeah, so Well, I'll make the bow if you want to trim it. It's too long. I don't think it needs all that Yeah, I'll give a little trim. You can make the bow Wait, I don't think you need the little one in there. I think it'll cock it sideways. Oh You're gonna loop it through the Raffia. Yeah, okay. Yeah See what I can do here Who are you gonna work your magic? Just hopefully be I'll just take it right down in there. Yeah, that worked Did you get it? Oh, you got it Wait breaking we're adding some lights Sorry, that's my last little thing. I think these little purple lights string lights here will be perfect I'm just gonna wind them up through Suck this in the foot What do you think? Yeah I thought it was super easy. Yes, especially with the feet that we did like we did There was no like screwing or trying to figure out how to get it to stand You think the this little thing here looks like a broomstick Or does it should it be thicker? I think it should be like Like he wants to be crooked crooked. Yeah crooked easy if it were crooked So this little one by two is perfect and just glue these little pieces on you don't have to have the nailer You can just glue it with some of that gorilla glue Just let it set let it set and dry You might have to chip away some of that puffiness A Big thanks to all of our patrons that we love you guys.
