Help with Instructions: Instructions Creatology Horror House
Halloween is my favorite holiday. I think it is because it is the most creative with creative pumpkin carvings and brilliant costumes. Honey is all about the crafts, so we went to Michael’s to pick up a few things to work on this month. The first thing she wanted to do was a Halloween foam kit by Creatology. I’m not going to lie the instructions are terrible. Thankfully the photo on the box was pretty good. It took us a good hour and half but she was so excited when we were all done!
The foam was a lot sturdier then I thought it was going to be and overall I was pretty happy with the results. It was 40% off this weekend for a cost of $11.99. Definitely for older kids or younger kids with adult supervision. Also my tip is to put on some of the sticker decorations as you build instead of waiting until the end (like we did) this will help them bind a little better.

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays – I love to go all out and ghis weekend we started decorating the trees outside our house with ghosts and monsters. Next week we will do the windows and then the inside of the house.

I just opened my kit. The instructions are terrible. I have been looking on line for more detailed instructions. I cant find them anywhere. The pictures are so small its hard to tell what pieces to use in each step. Can anyone help me with this…….????
Colleen says
I should have taken pictures while we did it. I totally scrapped the instructions on the back of the box and looked at the photo on the front of the box to figure it out what pieces to use.
I’m trying to think if there is a way I can somehow type out instructions though it would be easier with photos. I totally feel your frustration on this.

Your house is adorable!
Toni says
I love Halloween but we never decorate for it, I always see things I would love to do but just never do. I should change that.
Izzy says
Stuck on building this. I got the stairs up now what?
Colleen says
I tried to do a tutorial for the base as best as I could since I already put it together, try this link and see if it helps at all I took some photos close up and from the bottom

I wish I would have took photos while I was doing it, I didn’t think that people would be visiting to try to get instructions though I can totally understand they definitely were a PITA!
Good Luck let me know if that doesn’t help I will see what else I can do.
