When Derek from VanOaks Props reached out with a challenge, we knew it was going to be good! He proposed sending us a mystery box filled with random materials and we had to build a DIY Halloween Prop from the Mystery Box materials! We sent him a box as well so be sure to check out his video.

We make a lot of Halloween crafts and projects but making one from a complete mystery box was a crazy hard challenge. We spent several days thinking up DIY Halloween prop ideas and finally decided on a miniature haunted house! We got inspired by Lemax Spooky Town Halloween Village. We've never done papercraft stuff or miniature dioramas so this was all new territory, though we could use a lot of the DIY techniques we use on our other Halloween props.

MATERIALS & TOOLS USED:

It’s crazy how both you and Derek went from some random things to a full on diorama or pumpkin doll! It’s amazing! Y’all are awesome!

[amandaggogo]

This turned out SO cool! Hard to believe the house is just cardboard! It's looks so great!

The hot glue tombstones were a great idea too!

Would dig to see more dioramas in the future!

[larsworld]

i JUST finished watching your haunted doll house makeover! perfect timing!
that one was sooo incredible, can’t wait to see this one!!!!
been binging you guys, thanks for putting and keeping us in the spooky season spirit 👻

That hot glue tombstone idea blew my mind! It makes so much sense, but I never thought to use hot glue in those silicone molds. Wayyy cheaper than resin!

[mickblock]

You two are unbelievable. Your craftsmanship is 10/10. This project, and how it demonstrates that something lovely and complete can be made from a pile of random objects goes a long way to demonstrate the true sprit of Halloween! The icing on the cake was using the mailer box!

Great job! If you're a true crafter, playing with cardboard boxes never gets old! Can't wait to see what Derek did with his!

[MichaelPick]

My daughter and I love your shows. Please do more of the mini cardboard houses.

[laurenwheatley]

Well this was insane! The paintjob and other accessories etc took the project to another level!

[lowbudgettheory]

Such an AMAZING 👏🏻 thing to see the creative process in action! Thanks for celebrating the 60 days till Halloween 🎃 and uploading this!

[jetta.silence]

Oh wow! I love this! Its so cute. Yes more of this. I was trying to think of a way to make a stone like urn you normally put a small tree or flowers in on your porch in front of your house. But have a human head coming out and dead flowers, branches, succulents, ivy growing out too...ideas?

[erikaponcio]

This looks amazing. Paint job is great. I love the tombstones.

[barbaramudge]

Amazing! You guys continuously surprise me with your creativity. I had no idea you could make molds with hot glue and those window panes…outstanding. Can’t wait to try some of this out!

[mystical_and_whimsical_tarot]

That turned out sooo good!! I love that moving witch. I never would have thought of that. Great job, guys!

[OverclockedWorkshop]

I loved this video! Seeing the brainstorming process the two of you went through was great. Have seen the finished image on the YouTube page I did not expect the cardboard build. Great surprise for me.

[RedVelvetRabbit]

Aaaah! It turned out so well! I love these videos they're so inspiring! I can't wait to try some stuff out with the stuff I have lying around at home.
I'd be so keen to see more of these projects with your other content.

[alyh]

Wow what a challenge! Very cool I think that’s the one of the only things that could be done! Good job.

[MyMiaArabella]

Love it! That was a lot of work, but worth it. And “YES please” to your question of more dioramas. Shadow boxes and Book Nooks too! I love those little magical worlds. Thanks for sharing your ideas and talent

[tinak]

So amazing. I love the tombstones you made from the mold and hot glue. 🖤

[aaronponzetti]

The use of the foil ball for texture on the foam insulation was great. It takes me back a few years to using a tealight candle, and metal sculpting tools to do the same. Well done.
