The HipMonsters team does not like trees going to waste, so whenever we stumble upon a piece of wood too rotten or misshapen to be used for our projects, we create a wooden monster! We try to let the original shape of the wood inspire the final result. This pieces of wood was split like a giant mouth, so we decided to make it into an aligator.
Born from a dead branch of a juniper bush, this monster is built to protect a child’s room. It is very possessive and will only allow one monster in the room at a time. Perfect for making sure human children have a restful nighttime sleep.
We made Allie’s eyes out of two Styrofoam balls and drew in her pupils with sharpie.
Allie was one of our first monsters and is at the front of our house every Halloween!
Happy Creating!
