Eerie Floating Skeleton Cage from Laundry Baskets
Create a terrifying, dungeon-style hanging cage for a fraction of the cost of store-bought props using two cheap, black plastic laundry baskets. Choose baskets with a grid-like, barred pattern. Place a plastic poseable skeleton inside one of the baskets, positioning its hands so they are grasping the bars as if trying to escape. Flip the second laundry basket upside down and place it on top of the first, aligning the rims. Secure the two baskets together using black zip ties. Attach a heavy plastic chain to the top basket and hang it from a sturdy tree branch or porch hook. This clever DIY cage looks remarkably heavy and metallic, adding a brilliant dark-fantasy element to your yard.
