This is the first in a series of blog articles about using mannequins and mannequin parts for Halloween decorations.
The inspiration for this series about mannequins for Halloween decor began when we saw this image online:
We couldn’t stop laughing and were so happy that the creator of this display wrote this tutorial to explain the process of making it.
We wanted more people to see how easy it is to make an impactful (and budget friendly) Halloween display using mannequins and mannequin parts. So, we created the contest to acquire more user-generated content to share.
And since we have a large inventory of used mannequin legs that we recycled from retail stores to sell, we chose mannequin legs as the first feature in the series.
Check out these creative ways of using mannequin legs.
A pair of upside down legs can be used to create various scenes, reminiscent of the wicked witch from “The Wizard of Oz…”
What is especially cool about mannequin legs is that after Halloween is over, the legs can be repurposed and turned into a planter.
or to pretend that Santa is coming down the chimney…
or to show a Grinch coming out of a Christmas tree..
