Giggly Gravestones

Giggly Gravestones
Total Time Needed:
1-2 Hours

Trick-or-treaters can step into a silly cemetery--a not-so-grave site-- made of these cardboard gravestones.

Materials

  • Scissors
  • Gray paint
  • Markers
  • Garden Stake
  • Duct Tape
X

Instructions
  1. Cut the stones out of cardboard, paint them gray, then inscribe with silly epitaphs, such as Scared E. Cat or Hal O. Ween.

  2. The night of the party, use duct tape to attach a garden stake to the back of each tombstone and stake them all in the front yard, tipping some at odd angles for that 17th-century look.

  3. Partially bury a hat or boots in the front of each stone so it looks as if the deceased may rise to the occasion.
