Halloween Yard Decorations
Halloween Yard Decorations
Cost: $0!

Time: 2+ hours total

Supplies

  • Old coconuts (or for other parts of the country you could use gourds)
  • acrylic/latex paint (we just used paint we had in the garage left over from another project...any color will do!, plus you'll need black paint for the faces)
  • sticks or PVC pipes (anything that will stand up in the ground. We got old bamboo from a neighbor's yard)
  • a drill

Instructions

Drill large hole in bottom of coconut (or gourd) and drain out any liquid.

Paint half the coconut/gourd with a base coat of any color paint. Let dry and then paint on the faces in black.

Put coconut/gourd on a stick and press firmly in your yard.

Make as many as you want! It's easy and fun and the neighbors love it!

Those awesome. I don't have any coconuts, so I plan to make them with styrofoam balls. Thanks for the idea

These are really cute! I don't know how many coconuts or how much bamboo I can rustle up here in MA, but I'll definitely try this with gourds. And it's easy enough to do with the family. Thanks for the idea!
