For crafty partygoers who can’t wait to begin the spine-tingling groundwork for this year’s Halloween, reach for the toolbox and prepare for an enjoyable building experience. Power tool industry frontrunner Bosch presents four easy and creative decorating ideas for a successful horrorfest.
Wooden Drink Tray
Who says you can’t serve glasses of Bloody Mary in style? Instead of purchasing a new drink tray, impress your guests with one you made yourself!
You will only need two 1×2 wooden boards or used crates (if available), paint, and twine for the handles. Set up the frame by cutting up one board into two 24-inch pieces and two 14-inch pieces with a circular saw. You may polish the pieces of wood with the Bosch GOP 10,8 V-LI Professional cordless multi-cutter. Use a drill to assemble the cut up wood by placing holes into the adjacent corners and secure each hole with fitting screws. Pick up the remaining wood board and divide it into three 22-inch bars to fill the tray’s base. Sand the faces and edges before painting. Don’t forget to make a hole on the opposite sides of the tray to attach the handles. Finally, color the finished product with black or red to fit the occasion.
Bosch’s GOP 10.8 V-LI Professional cordless multi-cutter is perfect for trimming, adjusting, and repairing to perfect not only the appearance but also the quality of your craft. With the unique Bosch Premium lithium-ion technology, the GOP 10,8 V-LI has 400 percent longer lifetime and battery runtime for added performance. This tool can also be paired with multiple accessories to allow more applications such as plunge cuts, flush cuts, and even sanding!
Halloween Mirror
Increase the fear level during the party with this simple mirror trick. You will need an old mirror that you can reuse, an old photo, and a scraping tool. Take the mirror apart and scrape off the back coating of the glass. Cut out the old photo to fit the frame and place it on the mirror before reassembling the set. Lastly, mount the mirror onto your living room wall with ease using a Bosch GCL 25 Professional line laser.
If you’re planning to mount a few frames, leveling them on the wall can be a challenge. Designed for short-distance leveling and transfer applications, the Bosch GCL 25 Professional line laser can surely ease the job. With target accuracy that matches maximum battery power and minimum weight, putting up frames can be fun again.
Painted Jar Luminaries
Welcome the guests with some garden decoration by illuminating the walkway with luminaries that can be done in no time. Take out some used tin cans and the handy Bosch IXO 3 Professional cordless screwdriver to put holes into them. You can place any design or spell the word ‘boo’ depending on the size of your drill bit. For the finishing touch, paint each can with the color of your choice, place a candle inside, and light it up!
Match the creativity with the world’s smallest screw driver, the Bosch IXO 3 Professional. Whether the task is as easy as putting holes in cans or driving in tight spaces and hard-to-reach areas, the IXO 3 Professional can help finish the job in time and with comfort. Bosch’s innovative products always sets convenience with competence, so the IXO 3 Professional boasts forward/reverse rotation for inserting and removing screws, a magnetic bit holder, and an integrated LED light for illuminating dark work areas.
Apothecary Cabinet
Make them believe that you’re into some serious witchcraft with an apothecary cabinet. Rack up a few old wooden studs and draw up a footprint before assembling the cabinet. Ditch the hammer and nails and use the Bosch GSR 1800-LI Professional cordless drill/driver to effortlessly put the pieces of wood together. You may label each shelf and add some canisters to ramp up the whimsical effect. Feel free to paint the cabinet in spooky shades!
The Bosch GSR 1800-LI Professional packs power and convenience into one device with a slim design grip for fatigue-less job. This cordless drill/driver also sports the Bosch Electronic Cell Protection (ECP), a new power tool technology that protects the battery against overload, overheating and total discharge, which gives the user a chance to fully maximize the DIY experience.
Perfect for heavy construction and even weekend DIY ventures, Bosch’s high-grade power tools are flexible and reliable companions for every craftsman. These trusty gizmos are made with Class A components that ensure comfortable handling and top-notch results.
