Simple Halloween Cage Props

Attach with Shower Curtain Rings
Attach with Shower Curtain RingsHere is my test fit after cutting the handles. I used a shower curtain ring at each end of the chain to attach it to the bottom side of one basket (the top of the cage). I also am using a couple rings to hold the two baskets together.

Now is a good time to think about what you want to put in your cages. I found this miniature skeleton at Michael’s.

Paint
Paint BlackIt was hard to get a decent picture here, but I spray painted the baskets (and shower curtain rings) using a flat black, then lightly went over them with a metallic silver. You want the silver to be a little splotchy to give the look of aged, dirty metal.

Hang
HangPut everything together and hang it up! We hung ours from hooks on our patio.

 

 

If you need things for inside your cages, Dollar Tree also has lots of fake bats, skulls, spiders and other spooky critters! We put a couple bats in the top of one cage.

 

 

I’d love to see pictures of your cages and how you decorate them in the comments!
