What this video covers
Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay walk through converting a thrifted plastic dollhouse into a Victorian-style miniature haunted mansion inspired by the Addams Family. The build covers painting, weathering, and dressing the structure with spooky details including glowing jack-o-lanterns, demon cats, and an animated ghost on the balcony. The tutorial relies entirely on accessible craft-store materials and basic tools, making it approachable for Halloween decorators of any skill level. The finished piece works as a striking indoor Halloween display.
Key takeaways

- ◆Balloon lights inside mini foam pumpkins and parchment-paper ghosts add convincing glow effects with minimal effort
