craftgrrl | Library Haunted House

Every year our library does a big Halloween party for the kids. I'm the head of the decorating team and this year we decided to make a Haunted House display. We have limited funds (libraries are getting their funds slashed all across the nation) and only what we can get out of the trash to recycle but we did an awesome Haunted House this year. It's made from a box a TV stand came in, some cardboard Pier1 donated and the packing stuff - which made great shutters. It stands about 5 feet tall and has a light inside.

This pix is a little lighter but you can see the garden trellis we painted as a fence and the bones strewn around. Spooky!! We also have 3 large plastic skeletons and to make them go further in the decorating we took them all apart and hung them from the ceiling.
