Looking to create the ultimate Halloween yard display? With the advent of the extremely large Halloween decorations trend, the FORMUFIT PVC Skeleton Hand is the perfect way to make your home stand out. This giant, fully adjustable skeleton arm looks like it’s breaking through your lawn, roof, or any surface you choose. The project is easy to build, highly customizable, and sure to grab attention from trick-or-treaters and neighbors alike.
Why Build the PVC Skeleton Hand?
- Massive Halloween Impact: Stands nearly 5 feet tall for eye-catching curb appeal.
- Easy DIY Assembly: Uses only white PVC pipe and FORMUFIT fittings—no special tools or skills required.
- Adjustable & Customizable: Each finger rotates and bends, letting you create spooky gestures or hold props like pumpkins, lanterns, or signs.
- Versatile Installation: Set it upright, angle it for a “breaking through” effect, or lay it flat to display decorations.
- Scalable Design: Want to go even bigger? Use larger PVC pipe sizes to create a monster-sized version.
- Compact Storage: The arm and fingers break down into sections for easy storage—reuse it year after year.
