This past year, I had a brilliant idea to create a "Haunted Tree" in my front lawn for the 31st.
I used the lower, thin branches of the Bradford Pear Tree in my front yard to hang random spooky objects. They are as followed...
I cut the skeletons off of the garland, and tied each individual skeleton to
the branches.
I used small plastic skulls exactly this size in the little nooks of the branches. I hot glued them to small pieces of twine and tied the twine to the branches, so they sat on the branches rather than hung.
I also used...
Random, creepy-looking bottles that I hung
Some of that fake cobweb stuff
Some fake ravens
Some "werewolf claws" really plastic bear claws
a fake owl
and some other stuff...
