I picked up some blow molded plastic skulls from Target and Menard's for $4.99 each. I Then bought some 5' tall bamboo rods from Michael's craft store for $3.99 each. Taking a 1 1/2" drill, I drilled holes through the skulls at various angles and mounted them to the totem pole using wood screws under each skull and gravity to hold them in place. |
 |
To make the base, I used a 12" x 12" block of 1" thick wood (for support) and then screwed a 1 1/2" iron plumbing flange to the base and added a 3" piece of iron pipe. The bamboo slipped into the pipe, and a wood screw was screwed through the iron pipe into the bamboo. |
 |
I used super 77 spray glue and sprayed the skulls and base and stuck on Spanish moss. |

Spanish moss is dirt cheap and can be found at Michael's |
