We are back with more DIY themed decorations. We love carving styrofoam props and this time we are making a saguaro cactus. This video focuses on how we carved and sculpted white bead foam into a desert saguaro cactus prop for our haunted ghost town. It's just another look into how we accomplish some of our foam carving and sculpting projects that go into our home haunts. This one happens to be an 8' tall Saguaro Cactus that goes nicely with this year's haunted ghost town theme for our yard haunt attraction and display. What old abandoned western mining town would be complete without cactus in its desert landscape. This year Grave Rock Gulch was meant to have three to four of these props at different heights complete with arms and short toothpick cactus needles painted with white Firefly black light glow in the dark paint. When completed it would have had an awesome glowing effect like the previous prickly pear cactus foam props shared earlier in another behind the scenes video. Like so many other plans for props the deadline came up on us and we were unable to complete the project. Jeana was able to display one of the unfinished cactus which helped fill space and looked great in the back corner near the old spanish mission facade and water fountain prop. Learn the steps she took like using our homemade do it yourself hot wire foam cutting tool, hot knife, filing and sanding with rasps, files, sanding blocks with different grit sandpaper and painting. A 3/4" plywood base was cut and a 3' piece of steel rebar was attached that the cactus slid onto to stabilize and keep standing up. We both hope the video helps inspire and give ideas and insights to your future project needs.
