Shirley Bovshow's easy-to-make, Halloween DIY "monster plants" are made with easy to carve, faux pumpkins, foraged materials from your yard, and basic crafting materials!



Shirley Bovshow, Cristina Ferrare, and Mark Steines create "Man Eating Plants" for Halloween on the Home & Family show on the Hallmark channel.

The 7-foot-tall, "man-eating monster plant" is made using a tree branch foraged from the yard and leaves removed from a faux flower stem. The faux leaves are attached to floral wire and glued to the stem.
