Paper Bag Tombstones
So maybe you can’t muster an entire haunted house this year, but that doesn’t mean you can’t partake in the festivities. For minimal cost and energy these tombstones will give trick-or-treaters a kick.
What you'll need:
• Paper bags
• Black spray paint
• White and gold acrylic paint
• Paint brushes
• Scissors
• Battery-operated light source
To make these tombstones, simply coat large paper grocery bags with black spray paint and let them dry. Round the tops with scissors and use an X-acto knife or paint for the inscriptions. Add white silhouettes for ghosts or red paint for faux blood. Place your tombstones around your lawn and insert weights in the bottom to keep them from blowing away.
