DIRECTIONS:
01. Download full size (72 inches for witch pdf
template, 25-30 inches for cats pdf
template) templates, which you can print in sections and tape together,
or draw your own using other stencils as a guide.
02. Cut out and affix to plywood with repositionable spray adhesive or
staple gun.
03. With a jigsaw, cut out design; peel off template, and paint plywood
black. Let dry for 30 minutes.
04. Hammer conduits into ground, sinking 12 inches for witch and 8 inches
for cats.
05. Attach figures to conduits using 3 conduit straps and 6 screws for
the witch and 2 conduit straps and 4 screws for each cat.
06. Fasten a broom to the witch's raised arm with remaining conduit strap
and screws. Attach a cup hook to her other hand, and hang a lantern from
it.
My notes: Above are my photos of how it turned out, rather well I might
add. I didn't use repositionable spray and used a staple gun, probably
not the best idea but my dad did the cutting. It also took about and hour
or so for each to dry, depending on weather conditions. After cutting
out your designs, make sure the area is free of saw dust, including dusting
off all areas of the cut out shapes. For my lantern I used the Owl Lantern
from Illuminations.com, for the lights I used 2 orange(also called amber)
par38 flood light and 2 lawn stake spotlights from Home Depot.
