Heres a different type of prop. I took my experience from Halloween props for this idea. My daughter loves splash Mountain at Disney and the movie Song of the South. I wanted a garbage can out back by the bar but did not want it to stick out. I designed this to hide the garbage can. The top of the stump lifts off to put the garbage in. The Lantern flickers and plays cricket chrips on the bottom. It runs off of low voltage.
Thats Funny. It does look like cake frosting. It was made out of 2 large blocks of styrofoam, carved and then sprayed with a coat of hardner, painted, then clear coat. It is 6feet tall but, very light.
