In addition to the big door station behind where Mike and Sulley stand, I wanted to extend the scene a bit by adding a set of other doors heading back to the door warehouse. The idea was that I would make them smaller and hang them from the eves of our house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeping with the theme of re-using materials, I chopped the Lego castle from last year’s Halloween house into mini-door-sized pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then detailed the front and tops of each door to give it the outline that we see in the movie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At our Community Painting Days we painted the doors and their ‘frames.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I wanted to hang these doors, I wasn’t sure if the Styrofoam would be strong enough to handle that, so I decided to reinforce the tops of the doors with some wood. I created a cutting path in Illustrator and used a laser cutter to cut that path out in 1\/8 in. wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then glued (Great Stuff) those wooden pieces to the tops of each door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once the glue was dry, I added additional details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it was time to hang it, I bought some chain at the hardware store and used zip ties to connect the doors to the chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Finally, I added the doors to the eves of our house!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
