Find out how to make this simple yet creative Halloween costume. Follow these directions submitted by Barb from WV and you can dress up as a table.

Materials Needed:

  • Large Piece of Cardboard
  • Plastic Table Cloth
  • Paper Plate
  • Paper Cup
  • Plastic Utensils
  • Napkin
  • Plastic Vase with Flowers
  • Lamp Shade
  • Craft Knife
  • Glue

Instructions:
Start out by cutting a hole in the cardboard close to one edge that will be the back edge of the table. make sure the hole is big enough for your head to fit through. Cover the cardboard with the table cloth so that it hangs evenly down around the cardboard. Glue it in place. once the glue is dry, carefully use the craft knife to cut a hold for your head in the same spot where the cardboard hole is.

Now you can 'set' the table! Glue on the plate, cup, napkin, and plastic utensils on the edge of the cardboard table that is opposite your head hole. Glue the vase of flowers onto the center of your table.

For a finishing touch, place the lamp shade on your head once you put your table on.
