If you've visited my blog before you probably know I LOVE HALLOWEEN! From the DIY zombie yard decor and making my house come alive tutorial to the kids parties HERE & HERE and dessert theme food and the ADULT parties and our yearly family ZOMBIE photos! See!!! It's my absolute favorite holiday!
Every year we have a costume contest and I just love this year's theme. Here are the awards, prizes, and how I wrapped them.
Every year we have a costume contest and I just love this year's theme. Here are the awards, prizes, and how I wrapped them.
AWARDS:
I found glitter skeletons at Wal-Mart but the arm and legs were movable. This was not ideal for a trophy but I loved they were glittered already. I used hot glue to fix the legs and arms in place.
Funniest Costume
Scariest Costume
Best Costume
Most Creative
Least Effort
The LEAST EFFORT award was the funniest by far. I almost didn't even finish the wording on the skeleton sash. Lol! I was going to put Least Effo....
I found the bases from Micheal's for $.99 and used a 20% off coupon.
Spray painted black and "blood" splattered with red spray paint.
To attach the skeletons I used nails that were long enough to hold but wouldn't go through the bottom of the base. Nailed feet to base.
Next were the category sashes.
I used a blood font and printed text. Trimmed excess and ready to attach.
I attached the text with hot glue to sheer black ribbon and looped it through the skeleton collar bone. Then attached the sash with a dot of hot glue at the end of the ribbon.

Saved as a 4x6 photo.
I searched online for silly, funny, zombie themed, adult board games, etc.
I found so many great prizes but some were too expensive. I wanted an all zombie or bloody theme but I ended up mixing it up. These are the prizes we gave out this year:
Unicorn Meat
Unicorn Farts
Zombie-Opoly Board Game
Weener Kleener
Bacon Bandages
I had a bloody/zombie theme going on so the wrapping HAD to match.
This was super easy and inexpensive and turned out awesome!
$.89 bags from the grocery store
$1 store silver wrapping paper
Red spray paint
Red ribbon (one wrapped gift)
Red tissue paper
Paint brush or stick (lol)
Spray a little paint on the paint brush or stick and splatter. Let dry and done! Easy peasy.
Yes, I used a stick to "blood" splatter. This way I didn't waste a paint brush that I knew I would never clean. :) I'm also lucky to have an empty lot next door or what I call my spray painting crafting area. Plenty of ventilation.
I used red spray paint so it would be vibrant and dry super fast!
I have one gift to wrap. I wrapped first and once dried I tied a red ribbon on the wrapped gift to match.
