Supplies needed to make a flamingo vulture (printable directions found at the end of the post!):

  • Pink Plastic Lawn Flamingos (I got mine HERE)
  • 2 cans of spray paint: dark maroon and black. Be sure to pick a spray paint that is designed to go over plastic

  • Painter’s tape

I recommend pushing them down into the ground a little further than you would a plastic flamingo. Flamingos are tall and elegant. Vultures and buzzards are lower to the ground and lack that picturesque look that flamingos have. Next, you might want to add some other Halloween decorations around the flamingos just for the finishing touch. Happy Halloween!

Send me pictures of your Flamingo Vultures. I can’t wait to see your creations!
