I basically made them the same way I do all my lifesize props listed on my site. I did change up a few things though like the wire run through the bubblewrap arms so I could use the wires to tie at the flowers like hands. Also I used bucky skulls instead of masks. I just slid the pvc bodies through the milkcrate for a stand. A complete how to will be posted later.
Here's the price list
Skull heads- $11.00
Foam for hat- $2.00
Tape- $1.00
Flowers $1.00
Hair- $1.00
Paint- $1.00
Glue- $1.00
tulle- $1.00
ribbon- $.44
necklace- $.33
screws- $.20
Filler for body and arms- free from packages recieved
PVC- free (was being tossed at Kouma's mom and stepdad's house)
Fabric- Free (Black is from freecycle and the purple is from a pillowcase found in the laundry room)
Wire for arms- Free from Kouma's work
Coat hangers- free from closet
Milkcrate for stand- free from Walgreens
total
$19.97

Thanks all of you, they were a lot of fun to make.
Very nice Teary,

Nice sized Bride and Groom.
Good Job
I have always love the purple and black together. I know they both are over 5ft tall too just so you know the size.
Looks good Teary.
This gonna be the cake topper?
No they aren't going to be a topper, besides that would be one hell of a cake.
What a lovely couple! Very nice entry, Teary!
The bride reminds me of someone, but I can't quite place who......that's gonna drive me crazy 'till I figure it out!:googly:
Perhaps Cher?? Kouma and I both say that's who she reminds us of.
Cool can we borrow them for our wedding next year?
I dunno about that :D You could make some though after I get the how to done.

Thanks, guys and gals! I'm glad everyone is liking them.
SI, of course they are a bit annorexic, they are Californians. :D
BD, I wasn't really limited by budget really. It was more or less the resources. Moving out here from GA has really got me thrown for a loop since I don't have all the resources I had out there.

TY Dr. M!!! Koumajutsu came out to GA and kidnapped me Christmas. I'm going on my 3rd month being out here. Where's have you been? I thought everyone knew :D

Love it!
I have to laugh, though - the Bride reminds me of Anne Rice!
Yep, an early Sonny and Cher. The drug years before all the makeup. JK LOL Really nice looking props TearyThunder.

Looks great Teary! And you've made it sound like something I could try. I plan on making a pair for my haunt this year. My hubby could get behind the price too. Thanks.

Thanks a bunch guys. I'm very happy with the way they came out. I decided to keep them in the livingroom for now since I like the look from the door to door salesmen that see them when I open the door. :D

Keeping religious nutjobs away is always a plus, but where I grew up having Halloween props out in April would have had the opposite effect and attracted fanatics hoping to swoop in and save my soul. Don't know what would happen where I live now, maybe I should put some props in more visable locations and find out :D
