With so much macabre folklore and superstition surrounding them, crows and ravens are popular Halloween symbols of spookiness. You can create a flock — or, more accurately, a “murder” (of crows) or an “unkindness” (of ravens) — to decorate your home with just some newspaper, wire, tape and paint. Depending on the placement of the wire legs, the figure might want to lean forward. Or maybe the head is tilting to the side. If you cut too much off one area, you can build it back up with tape.
