    How-To:
  • Gather your supplies. The first thing I did was cut both 8' lengths of wood in half. After that just criss-cross the wood until you are happy with the look and screw into place with 2 screws.
    After screwing the wood in place. Take the PVC and measure out how long your skeleton is and how much space you want on either side. You can then take the extra PVC and make your handle with your 2 elbow joints.
    After getting everything the way you like it, lay it down, hold it up whatever you'd like to paint it. For the paint I went over both the PVC and wood not to paint the entire thing just ot give it more depth. After you lay down the brown paint I quickly went over parts of it with the can of black paint to give it that burnt look.
    When everything dries flip it all over and do it again for the unpainted side. Once that dries, I leaned one side of the wood against something in the yard so I could set it up without putting the supports in the ground. After I got it that way I liked I put my skeleton torso on the PVC. (Note: this WILL scratch the paint, but you will be painting it a little later again so it's not a big deal.)
    Spray the skeleton torso and the PVC where you'd like the "meat" to be left on the skeleton. I had mine sitting out in the sun and it took about 4 hours to fully cure. Once it does, remove any excess with a saw or sandpaper.
    You are ready to paint the meaty skeleton! I started with a base coat of brown (I would have used red but didn't have any on hand) don't paint the entire thing, I lightly went over it with the brown. (If you have any old cans of spray paint you can add in pretty much any color you'd like, I added in some yellow and orange.) Then you can go over everything with the black to give it that crispy burnt look.

    That should about do it, when you're setting up you'll have to hammer some strips of scrap wood into the ground for support.
    HAPPY HAUNTING!
