   You are right up my alley!

   Spooky eye boxes.
   Needed-
   small boxes 6×4 in
   exacto knife
   clear packing tape 4mm
   christmas lights (red only)

   Make the box and cut out eye and a hole in the bottom for light. Tape up so the ‘snow’ doesn’t get in. (I live in Texas, but did this in Chicago) String them thru bushes.

   Tombstones
   Needed
   Non-latex flat paint
   plywood
   saw
   2x2s
   screwdriver and 1" screws
   Grey spray paint

   Cut out in the tombstone shape. Spray with gray paint. Using your imagination, write something on it. Cut the 2×2 into steaks and screw it on to the back. Place in yard.

   ps- I like to use my family for the tombstone

   Elyria (my alter ego)
   1820-1998 (when made them)
   Rest in pieces

   Here lies Nikki
   She wasn’t picky
   Now she’s icky

   don’t forget the fake spider webs and lighting system for full effect. (lights with hoods can be bought at home depot-use red or green spot lights)

   I am the terror of the neighborhood! Good will is a great place for clothes for costumes. I like the layered look.

   BOO!

   Dress up as a scarecrow. Cover your face and hands so kids will think you’re a prop and sit very still next to the candy dish. As the trick or treaters get to your door, jump up and give them a little scare.
