Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. So I make sure to do at least one Halloween project every year. This year I opted for a fun a little DIY Halloween graveyard scene.

The fence and tombstones are made out of plywood. I chose to use wood because the store-bought foam tombstones usually don’t withstand the weather for more than a season or two. But the plywood will last for years when properly sealed.

The ghost in this DIY Halloween graveyard is easily constructed from a little cheesecloth draped over a white pumpkin or gourd. If you want a ghost that will last the entire season, consider getting a dried gourd and painting it white to drape the cheesecloth over.

Happy Haunting!
