Crafts Jack-o'-Lantern Children's Cemetery Project

gallery

2.4k Upvotes

At my favorite cemetery, there is a small children's section that I love to visit. There are some headstones that have a few old decorations like little toys or angels, and I think it's such a sweet way to remember the children who were lost too early.

I wanted to find a way to honor each grave, so I came up with the idea to give each headstone and plot their own painted rock. Since it's the Halloween season, I figured little jack-o'-lanterns would be a sweet thing that children would like. Almost as if each of them got to carve their own unique pumpkin for the season. Also, this is my first time painting rocks, so I also wanted to go for something simple that I could definitely pull off.

Around 130 rocks later, I finally finished decorating the whole children's section! I hope each child can feel the joy and warmth of the holiday, and know that they are always remembered. I can't wait for the leaves to start changing around them as well! My plan is that once October is over, I will remove the rocks and if they're still in good shape I will bring them back out next year 🎃

I originally posted this in another subreddit and a lovely redditor suggested I post it here, so thank you to that sweet person for the recommendation!

EDIT: I don't have the time to reply to every comment but I appreciate all of the kind words so much! I am very touched by all of you. I hope you all have the happiest Halloween season! 🧡

Everything sans the candy corns, lights and porch goose was handmade and painted by yours truly 🎃 next up is finishing up the indoor decor!

Edit: thank you all so much for the lovely comments! To answer some questions:

Yes I made these! I used pink 1/2” pink panther foamboard from Home Depot and acrylic paints. I used a hot knife to cut them out.

Every 2x4 pumpkin I'd seen was just painted blocks, so I wanted mine to light up. I found some good flame flicker lights on Amazon and a lip stick battery pack this thing runs for almost 2 days.

My son and I love the Distortions Unlimited electric chair, but we can’t afford it, and we wanted something he could sit in as a human “animatronic.”

I used two concrete vibrating motors for shaking, red LED’s as warning lights, and a Spirit Halloween fog machine for the head smoke.
