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

1. Drill large hole in bottom of coconut (or gourd) and drain out any liquid.
2. Paint half the coconut/gourd with a base coat of any color paint.
3. Let dry and then paint on the faces in black.
4. 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!
