How to Make a Graveyard Halloween Silhouette

Silhouettes can be created out of construction paper or poster board and attached to windows or walls as holiday decorations. Halloween graveyard scene silhouettes can include gravestones, flying witches, bats, clouds or a full moon.

Things You'll Need

• Black construction paper or poster board
• Pencil
• Scissors
• Tape

Instructions

1. Draw outlines of tombstones, flying witches, bats, the moon partially covered in clouds, cats, fences or other figures you would like to include in your silhouette. You don't have to be an artist to draw these figures. They are not meant to be detailed, only to give the illusion of looking at a graveyard at night. These can be drawn freehand, or you may search for printable patterns online.

2. Cut out the shapes you have drawn.

3. Tape the shapes to windows. The will be visible from outside, with the light from indoors acting as a backdrop. Create a scene across multiple windows or separate scenes on each window.

4. Tape the shapes to a wall. Create an graveyard scene across one wall, complete with tombstones, a moon, bats and flying witches. An outline of a creepy fence completes the look.
