Let me tell you, tackling those Disney Tomorrowland costumes was quite a journey! I had no idea where to even begin, but one thing was certain: I couldn't have done it without my incredible mother-in-law, a seamstress extraordinaire who works her magic on all my vintage dresses.We had so many questions swirling in our heads. Where on earth would we find the right fabric? How in the world were we going to create those intricate tubing designs? And let's not even get started on the helmets – that

I don't want to alarm anyone, friends, but Halloween is less than a week away. Have you watched all the spooky movies? Had enough pumpkin-spiced things? Glittered your bat wings? I'm just saying, this is the week to EMBRACE YOUR SPOOP. (To that point, I'm currently wearing gold foil stars-and-moons leggings for the first time ever. John declared them "distracting." MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.) Now let's get to my most requested - and ironically, easiest - tutorial of all our Haunted Mansion builds: the singing busts. Yes, this is in our yard. Honest. This DIY is so simple you're about to call us big ol' cheaters - but remember, you can cheat, too. I can show you the worrrrrrld... of cheater DIYs. Just keep scrolling. While the build itself is cheap and easy, you are going to need a digital projector, which is a definite cost. I'm told you can get holiday window projectors for as little as $30, but make sure you can plug in a USB to supply your own video. John and I have a fancier projector that plugs into a laptop, left over from my book tour days, which gets a lot of crafting use. So if you make a lot of large signs, props, etc, it's worth the investment. Right, let's get to this oh-so-easy build. Ready? 1) Find a Singing Busts video on Youtube. (We used this one.) Project it onto a large piece of pink insulation foam, backing up until they're the size you want. 2) Trace This is tricky because so much of the busts are in shadow, but do your best to fill in where the heads *should* be. 3) Tweak your outlines 'til you're happy: My bases were super wonky, so I went over them with a paper template to make them more symmetrical. 4) Cut Using A Long Craft Blade Remember to leave the bottom ledge, so the busts are all connected on one piece of foam! This will keep the spacing right. Also try to cut all the way through with the blade in one go, for smoother edges. 5) Paint The Fronts White No need to paint the edges. 6) Make A Stand We re-used the stand from the "I Wet My Plants" game at my Jungle Cruise Party, then hid it behind more pink foam. You could just use a folding table, though. You'll be tempted to hang the busts on a wall, but for the illusion to work they can't have anything behind them. So make sure your stand is at least 10-15 feet away from any flat surfaces behind it. Testing the projection. See why it doesn't matter if you paint the foam edges? The perfect spot for these fellas is between two house, so you have lots of open space behind and in front for the projector: We're using this strip between us and the neighbors. That unfinished tombstone is hiding the projector, to give you an idea of the distance you'll need. And because I know someone will ask, here's the 10th wonder of the world: THE BACK SIDE OF BUSTS And here's what our projector set-up looks like: Our laptop is inside the top egg crate, which offers a little more protection and camouflage. That unfinished tombstone is almost done, after I spent last night working on it: And finally, here's a look at the Singing Busts at night: Blown out reference shot: And now in action! John and I are almost ready to film the full yard walk-through, so stay tuned for that this Friday. We're squeezing in just a few more DIYs before then, plus I can't wait to show you our costumes. I hope you're taking time to enjoy all things cozy this month, my friend. We're getting to the season where time speeds up, which means we have to make a conscious effort to slow down. It's easy to get bogged down in the million things shouting for our attention, when what really matters are the people right here around us. So please, check in with your loved ones. Take a night off and watch a movie from your childhood. Maybe invite some friends over to join you. Breathe. You've got all the big stuff - the little stuff will follow. You mean more than you know to people you don't, and I am so, SO glad you're here, exactly as you are. Be good to yourself, k? And here's a squeezy ghost hug for the road: ::HUGZZ:: ***** It's getting near the end of the month, have you entered my Squeegineer give-away yet?
