6. Skeleton Porch Sitters

Two life-size skeletons sitting on rocking chairs on a porch, one holding a pumpkin, surrounded by hay bales

Seat skeletons on rocking chairs, hand one a pumpkin or a broom, and you have a scene that makes every trick-or-treater grin. Secure the limbs with fishing line so poses survive windy October nights.

What You’ll Need

  • 1-2 poseable life-size skeletons
  • Rocking chairs, hay bales, or crates
  • Clear fishing line and hooks

How to Make

  1. Seat each skeleton on a chair or hay bale and pose the limbs.
  2. Tie key joints to the chair with fishing line so poses hold.
  3. Place a pumpkin on one’s lap or a broom in the other’s hand.
  4. Check sightlines from the street so faces are visible to passersby.
