trash bags
sturdy clear tape
scissors
spray paint (black, brown, maybe gold and glitter if you're feeling ambitious)
Instructions:
1. Cut the trash bags up and tape them to the surface.
2. Rip pieces of brown paper off the roll. Size and shape don't really matter, and crumple them up tight. If you don't do some as tight, that's ok. This is the best step to get kids in on. It's actually pretty difficult to mess this step up. Too big? Rip some off. Too small? Don't throw it away! We'll use those too.
3. Take the larger pieces and open them up and tape the edges down on the inside, like a bubble (or in this case, something slightly resembling a rock).
4. Before you tape up the whole piece, take some smaller pieces and stuff them in it to keep it looking full.
5. Once you have all the paper on and sturdy, take your spray paint and just kind of hit the low lying areas ever so gently (It could be possible to overdo this, it's just for highlights, so go easy)
6. If you're feeling extra ambitious, you could put some lights around it, or even take clumps of grass and set them in there.
Have some fun with it! (I have one of those lights that has ghosts and bats flying through it when it gets dark)
