Halloween is almost here!! 🎃 We make lots of DIY Halloween Props, decorations, and fun stuff this time of year and we decided to kick off the 2021 Halloween season with a fun project for our cat, Oberon! He's an 8-month old Sphynx with a particular proclivity for destruction of personal property. We needed to make a scratching post and got inspired to make a combo DIY cat house and cat scratching post/cat tree! Since it's a giant halloween jack-o-lantern, it will double perfectly as a nice piece of DIY Halloween décor.
DIY Halloween Giant Jack-o-Lanterns are AWESOME! You could repurpose this build to make the jack-o-lantern only and leave out all the rope, etc. and just have yourself a great Halloween Prop.
If you'd like to make your very own DIY halloween giant jack-o-lantern or need a DIY Cat House or diy cat bed, this video will get you a long ways towards being inspired to making your own at home.
Check out Evan & Katelyn's "Catcus" DIY Cat House as well! It was part of inspiration for the project: • DIY Cactus Cat House (...

This must be the first time Ive seen someone make something for their cat that the cat just immediately enjoyed and used 😂
Same😂
What good humans!😊
Im so glad there's RUclipsrs out there actually giving the credit and not just taking the credit
For future paper machete projects, MANY more layers of smaller pieces of paper/bag and orient them in opposite directions. One later vertical, one horizontal, one diagonal.
You should collaborate with Evan&Kaitlyn! They made a greensphere for Joob awhile back. I’d like to see y’all make a whole new concept. Maybe they add resin, and you add a new design!
Yeah theirs is amazing!!
@@WickedMakers OMG I WOULD LOVE A COLLAB BETWEEN YOU FOUR!! and the cats
I agree !
@@geralne500 unfortunately I think I remember Evan and Katelyn saying Joob doesn't like other cats 😢
And when the world needed them most, THEY RETURNED!!
@@Te9sahtime What the actual...
⁰
You guys have Obie, Moriah Elizabeth has Opie, and Evan&Katelyn have Joobie. Did you guys have a cat-naming conference or something? 😂
If you ever do this again, I'd recommend a trim of wood at the bottom and face holes and a small circle of wood at the stem. That way you can staple the rope down in addition to gluing it. Cats exert a lot of force on the ropes when they scratch on them and with just glue, I suspect he will derobe that pumpkin fairly quickly. It is a beautiful project and I hope you do this again at some point and practice with the structural integrity.
I sooooo need this cat house in my life!! Yes, please!! It's amazing! My only problem would be, since I have 4 cats, I'd need a pumpkin patch!!
Hahha at least two could fit in there

Awesome tutorial! Thanks! For anyone trying this at home, important tip/reminder: make it a few inches bigger than you need to. In my experience, papier mache shrinks. This turned out awesome! I'm going to make mine with a furry soft pet bed inside.
Thank you!!!
I am SO surprised by how well that came out. I would never imagine that a face made of sisal rope could look anything but awful. But man, the final product looks FANTASTIC. Y'all did great work.
Glad to see you back! I'm so looking forward to the coming season!
Thank you!! It was questionable at points but turned out amazing.
nice concept. paper mache needs a lot of layering though. my cosplay sword sheaths are 12 layers of paper mache (with 3 alternating orientations) with fiberglass mesh every 4 layers. and they're still wobbly as heck. a cat house of 2 layers (before resin) won't even hold the weight of a kitten. i'd have advised 30 layers at the minimum for the pumpkin
That’s wild! Thanks for the tip.
Have you considered trying air dry clay? It's like paper mache but BEEFY.
@@chaoscreature332 It can also be heavy too.
in my experience if you use flour + water as your glue you dont have to do so many layers. ive done several projects in 2 layers and its very sturdy, the only downside is that its harder to get smooth
And a thing we learned in the art subject at school: use small pieces of paper not large patches. When we made heads for some prop scarecrows we use max 3x5cm newspaper pieces and at least let them overlap by half the size. And then 10 layers or so. Super tideous but super sturdy too.
Sisal = scratching post in my house. It would be destroyed in a day. Especially with my 4 year old energetic kitty coming at it full bore. Absolutely the cutest cat house I’ve seen though.
😄😄😄 thank you!!
"I think even our kids could sit on it without breaking it."
Gravity: "Am I a joke to you?"
It's looks amazing!
I personally would have used a flour and food grade colouring based paint/dye and cardboard/paper mache/flour as opposed to epoxy resin because it could cause toxicity if accidentally ingested or cause allergies as the cat scratches on it.
So true!!! I feel like it’s kinda irresponsible when big channels like this just “wing” a project like this intended for pets. They’re literally like babies!! My kitten eating anything loose and goes hard on his scratching posts, I doubt this will last a year with everyday kitty use :(
I love Oberon! What a cool cat house! 🐈⬛
👊🏼😄 He’s an amazing cat.
Well I'll be damned! Two of my favorite channels congregating in one place.
@@WickedMakers he looks like a wizard cat 🐱🧙🏼♂️
he would be a bit uncomfortable so maybe add some tiny plillows and a bed sheet
Yeah so cute even if he has no fur
That is super cute. So glad the cat liked. If I spent all that time building that , I know my cat would not give it the time of day. You guys are so patient, putting all that rope on and the stem.
I love this! I can't believe he broke it, but he's still just a teenager. He makes bad plans too.
We have the same rug in our living room.
Classic Ziggy. 🤣
Oberon.. really cool name for a cat. Very whimsical, since it's the name of the King of Fairies
That pumpkin was adorable
Best cats you will ever have... we have had our sphinx for 10 years now, she is the best!
Firstly, I’m glad to hear other people have multiple nicknames for their pets😂 - ADORABLE AWESOME CONCEPT!
thank you!!!!! :)
Idk if it's nicknames persay....But I have 4 cats. Each one is completely different from the last....But they have special names when I'm talking to them.
Bandit: My Big Boy.
Pumpkin: My pretty girl
Sprite: My baby
Hemi: My baby boy
It's just how it ended up being....lol
Hahahahaha “Ifyoudontstoppeeinginthedogsbowlimgonnapunchyou” is another one I just used yesterday 😂
those ropes inside that dyed water definetly look like some entrails that could be a next project XD
this turned out better than I imagined, although it still seems a little flexible and flimsy to my eye. A great start for the 2021 Halloween season.
Thanks! 🤘🏼💀
that came out VERY nice. I would "glass" the inside for structural rigidity.
Oh my gosh you guys are so cute. It’s so refreshing to see a couple get along and treat each other with respect ❤️ and of course your creations are always amazing! Thank you for sharing 🎃😊
For other people who don't wanna use resin, like me, I found that mixing terrarium calci Sand (which is awful for pets btw) mixed with glue or even acrylic paint makes a nice paste that drys rock solid.
I've used it for dioramas, custom backwalls for my tanks or just rocks to climb on for our gecko.
Oooo that'd be a really cool thing to use for terrarium backgrounds and climbing rocks, give them something with some grit so they can dig their nails in to climb for the lizards who can't climb smooth surfaces and find a use for one of the worst products marketed for lizards
🥰😍 my pigeons (cats) need this!
Haha yes!
The most adorable kitty
After the paper mache, add paper mache clay. Inside snd put. Then apply several coats of varathane.the clay and the varathane makes it hard as a rock and also waterproof. This method also works beautifully
Oberon, what a cool name for a cool cat! Love the hairless alien cats.
That joke with the rope and the bar is my favorite “walked into a bar” joke.
Hahaha yes
Happy you are back!! Looking forward to more great creations.
Thanks! 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼😄
It’s that time of the year.
Yes!!!
End result is awesome. To much work for me . Thanks for showing😊
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼💀
Aww such beautiful kitty 🐈 awesome idea 💡 I love it 🐾😇 God bless you all have great day be safe
This is a new record: I had already given up the thought of making one myself by the 3:00 mark 😂
Haha you got this!
That is cool as cool. Cat tested. Oberon looks very pleased and amused.
Awwww he's so cute at the end
Those kittys seem more like dogs. Love that thing. It’s great
Hahah thank you 🤘🏼😄
I'm a frayed knot! :) Great pumpkin and great cat.
There back! THERE BACK! AND THERE BACK WITH A CAT CRAFT
😄😄😄😄
Great job........you had fun doing it ....so worth it.
You should’ve glued some pieces of veneer or a few layers of canvas on the backside of the break, painting it with resin between layers. You actually still could if you still have the pumpkin. Great video though, may have to try it.
Pumpkin cat for Halloween president 2021!!
That is the cutest Jack-o-Lantern!
that furbaby is gorgeous i would give anything to have one!
Oberon is adorable and the jackolantern cat house is amazing!
Awesome to see you guys again🏴
👋👋👋😄
For me; this will be a chihuahua house 😂
I love this!
paint it orange first, then the rope...perfect!!
You’re doing an awesome job of feeding my Halloween addiction 🎃
Your kitty loves it!
This pumpkin is gorgeous. Absolutely beautiful
Fiberglass would be a good material to use for a prop like this. Easy to work with and super strong with only a few layers.
Such fun! Looks wonderful and purrfect for your kitty❣️ That was a great idea to add the Sisal.
Thanks!! He loves it.
You’re welcome. 🙂
It turned out awesome! I wish I was that creative.
Fun Halloween project! Oberon reminds me of Mr. Bigglesworth, Dr.Evil's cat from Austin Powers. Haha.
Love it! And the new baby- we have 2 Sphynx and they are the best!
You could have ran the rope all the way across the bottom & that would give it a floor for inside the pumpkin. Also you could use exercise mats to cut out & reinforce the ribs for the pumpkin structure inside. I like it. I am thinking of trying to do a skull 1 for my dogs.
Honey, run. A DIY Halloween just dropped
i really love the halloween pumpkin house
I love the cats automatic expresión is like "what about it?!" Can't tell kitty anything about what they do bc kitty is so cute.
Omg critters! and the halloween themed cat house! i loved everything in this video!!
I have a chihuahua and she would love this!
Jay and the giant pumpkin!!! 🎃
This is so cute and wholesome
😄😄😄
Cute cat! I want to make one. I’m sure that my hairless cat will enjoy it
Such a beautiful cat! My 4 are 8 months too!
I need this for myself
I love Evan and Katelyn! So glad to find another couple to see more projects!!!
What a cool project. Very inspirational.
Thanks! 👊🏼😄
That turned out great! I might make one but for a bird and bird sized.
Awesome!!
This could not have come at a better time!!! I'm so excited to try this!!
The cat house looks amazing!!! I especially love how the stem looks.
I think that a layer of plaster or lightweight clay, such as air-dry clay, on the inside will add more structural integrity to the cat house since a few layers of paper mache are still quite weak for such a large structure.
Stunning!!! I was skeptical about the rope at first but then I fell in love. Just more proof that I need to trust the process. Waaaay impressed. Thank you so much. I want to do this for my home. ⭐
Cool cat needed a cool house. Wicked Makers made it so!
😄😄 totally.
Your cat is so cute and I love his new cat home 🏡
that's so cute and creative. I have tons of cats and dogs.
Oberon is such a handsome little raisin!
😁😁😁
As always, very cool! I would love to see the Wicked Makers version of an axworthy flying ghost 👻
That stem is amazing.
Right?! Jaimie did an amazing job
Almost time for Halloween. Need more decorations!
Yes!!!
Kitty is TOO cute! Love it ❤😁
😄😄😄
I love the cat house!!!
Thanks!!! 👊🏼😄
I’m really surprised he can handle the smell of the spray paint, but it must have dulled down! Awesome!!
This Pumpkin cat house is Awesome. Great Video Thank you for sharing.
Oh man, I can imagine a whole slew of these! A ghost one would be so cute! Awesome job you guys!
Oberon looks so much like my mom's Sphynx, Kowl!!
This is AMAZING! Great job! Absolutely beautiful! I want one for my Mom's cat, but that was a lot of work!
What a fun couple! Love the project, AND the kitty! Once I have more space, I'm gonna have to make one of these babies for MY cat!
I would NEVER have the patience to do this, so big kudos to you both lol. Also, damn it's AWESOME!
My first video with you guys and I’m already a fan ☺️
I really need to make Peanuckle & Garry some of these
10:45 I CAME IN LIKE A WRECKING PUMPKIN
I love this cat now
Plaster of Paris strips would be a good alternative to using resin to harden the structure, its cheaper, more accessible and you don't have to worry about the resin fumes :)
I made your witches cauldron last Halloween. It was my favorite decoration of the year. Excited to see what’s in store this year.
Awesome!! 😄
That is so stinking cute! I would love to try and make one for my kittys. 🐈⬛🐈⬛🧡🧡
That DIY Halloween Cat House cat house looks so good. I am glad your cat likes it.
Ugh! I cannot *abide* sticky OR greasy things. Brr.
I get it, Jay! 🥴
Love the pumpkin.
🤣🤣🤣 thank you!!
