Harry

Yes, Harry is scary but don't you think he is fun?? So easy. We just loosely stuffed some old clothes with newspaper. You can use a mask or a lightweight jack o' lantern for the head and old work gloves or scary hands like we used. Some old shoes or work boots and you are ready to scare!
Oh and my little Franky is a gourd, lovingly crafted by Tracy Vandenack!
