Vampire defense kit

Here’s another Halloween craft project I put together… a mini vampire defense kit! It’s small enough to carry in a coat pocket. 

The original Victorian kits were popular around 1900’s after the publication of Dracula. The kits mainly were sold to tourists traveling in Europe.

Baba Yaga house

Baba Yaga’s house (inspired by Dungeon Miser youtube video) made from a Dollar Tree mini bird house, Final Strike action figure for legs, takeout styrofoam box for shingles & siding, popsicle sticks, toothpicks, and other small bits for details.

I put in several platforms to make it playable for characters to climb on and figure out how to break into Baba Yaga’s house.

I made a pumpkin king miniature using sticks I found walking around the neighborhood for arms and legs. The body is a pine cone. The head is a styrofoam pumpkin I got from the dollar tree. Push in 2 red beads for eyes. Hot glue together and put on a 2 inch base. It’s about 3.5 inches tall.
