Who dunnit? It’s a Trailer Park Murder Mystery Party. Themed Trailer Park Tragedy party decor, costumes, tablescapes and recipes to pull of your ultimate Redneck bash.

Trailer Park Murder Mystery Party

Red Solo cup, I fill you up! Let’s have a party… Redneck Style!

One of my dearest friends had a party I was incredibly jealous not to attend. With her living thousands of miles (and a continent) away, I forgave her for the lack of an invite, but i told her to take many pictures so I could live vicariously through her photos. Not only did I get to scroll through endless digital photos, I gathered them together to share with you all so you too could enjoy the celebration – a Trailer Park Murder Mystery Party!

What is a Murder Mystery Party?

A murder mystery party is a themed game played with a large group of people. Party-goers are assigned roles, with one individual secretly playing a fictitious murderer, and the other attendees each providing a character to fit the theme. The attendees work together to solve who among them is the criminal while not getting murdered themselves!

Trailer Park Tragedy

For her guidance, she referred to Night of Mystery Trailer Park Tragedy. There she got printables, invites, and a list of character, descriptions and directions for completing her perfect murder mystery party.

I didn’t want to leave you all hanging. I know we are both feeling left out of this party of a life time, so to warm both of our redneck hearts, I gathered together some of the most creative White Trash Bash party ideas from around the web. Use these DIY decorations, tablescapes and recipes, and free printables (made by yours truly!)

Recipe for Disaster

This trailer park tragedy is a recipe for disaster. Let us all lift our Red Solo cup and offer a toast to finding the murderer! Cheers y’all!

Party Tip: If you are the host/hostess, do not become the main character or narrator. It is hard keeping track of food, drinks, talking with guests, and staying in character! It’s best to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor (prep) and enjoy the dinner show!

Home is where you park it! Welcome to the trailer park! Get ready for adorable party decor and trailer park party ideas.

Tuna fish cans, bean cans, and newspaper – they all make pretty centerpieces. Just add a tea light!

Hang a clothesline. We hand dyed these old clothes to make the perfect Trailer Park Clothesline. There were a few ways we made different items of clothing. First, we bleached old red and black boxer briefs. They held a little bit of the color but looked filthy and old once bleached. Second, we also took red clay (dirt) and rubbed them into white t-shirts, socks and fabric with rocks. Begin by wetting your fabrics. Then add the dirt. The rocks will help break down the fabric, cause some tears and really grind the dirt in the clothing. Lastly, we dyed some of the fabrics with Kool-Aid. It looks like something red was placed in a white wash. It also gave some of the fabrics a nice pink look! WE thought pink male underwear was perfect for our trailer park.

Speaking of coolers. Try to refrain from having garbage cans on the premise. Adding used plates and cans only adds more decoration to your lawn.

Add an invisible ink message for clues. You can get an invisible ink pen with UV light here. | Ikatbag

Beer can hair rollers are a must – follow this YouTube tutorial on how to make them! | Photo Source

Brown kraft paper using for crafts or parcel helped make our outhouse door. Remember to keep that S in reverse! Amazon has a lot of funny toilet paper! (You can purchase an outhouse door cover here if you don’t want to make one.)

Every party has a pooper and this flower needed a pot. Problem solved using a toddler potty seat. (Normally these can be borrow from someone’s back yard – just look around the trailer park and leave a note!)

To make this beer box garland backdrop, we had hooks in our beam every foot. The beam is about 11 feet across. The beam to the bottom of the last box was about 6 feet, this allowed us to fit 4 boxes on the vertical rope. We weaved first box through the rope and tied near the top with a knot. We fed the rope through the second robe and added another knot. We continued this process with two more boxes for at total of four boxes per vertical rope. We took all our ropes and tied them to the horizontal rope about a foot apart. The hooks were helpful in giving us the exact amount of distance.

Every queen needs a handbag! Get 1.88 inch painters tape and write Gucci, Chanel, LV or whatever your designer brand. It could be kind of funny to do a very cheap brand anyways, like Old Navy or something already budget friendly.

When hosting a party, add a beautiful floral centerpiece. We find Vlasic pickles make a beautiful vase for flowers. Plus save money on the flower water because they already come with a pretty green water inside. Look for flowers in your neighbors yard instead of going to the store – those cost to much anyways.

Every Murder Mystery Party, needs a few accessories. Pick up these props and must have accessories for your Trailer Park Tragedy!

Ice Cream Cone Pumpkin – October Birthday Idea

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

October 11, 2018 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Birthday, Crafts, DIY, Facebook, Halloween, Instagram, Pinterest, Social Media 1 Comment

Want to take your pumpkin decorations a step beyond your typical carving? Take a look at this easy Ice Cream Cone Pumpkin tutorial. It’s an adorable idea for an October birthday celebration.

Ice Cream Cone Pumpkin

We got so inspired by our post un-carved Creative Pumpkin Decorations, that we took the challenge as well. While these pumpkins were pretty amazing, we think that we have the most exciting pumpkin yet!

My third child’s (Eli) birthday is in October and I am always thinking of what I can do to incorporate his birthday and Halloween (without it being too scary!) I first made these cute Halloween Spirit Drink Labels, to share with you, plus I put together some yummy Halloween Kids Food Crafts. I wanted to take it a step further with our front door. The front porch has all the Boo-tiful Halloween decor, but it lacks something celebrating Eli’s birthday – thus the evolution of the Ice Cream Cone Pumpkin.

One thing to take in to consideration for this project is it takes time. You will need time for the pot to dry, the ice cream base, and the pink paint to dry. So about three different times where your project needs to “sit” before you move on to the next step.

Ice Cream Cone Pumpkin Supplies:

There are a few supplies needed for this project. I would say the most unique supply is the spray foam insulation. It was not something I had on hand. Keep this project in a well ventilated area. You have craft paint as well as the foam. Adult supervision is suggested for this project!

Ice Cream Cone Pumpkin Directions:

First, protect your area by laying out a piece of newspaper or scrap paper in a well ventilated place. You will want to paint your terracotta pot tan and let it dry.

Once your pot is dry, you will place your pumpkin upside down into your large pot.

If you are doing this with the kids, this particular part is for ADULTS! Please read directions/precautions on your Spray foam insulation can. Put your gloves on and carefully spray a small amount of spray foam insulation around the bottom of pumpkin/top of the pot. Keep in mind that the foam will grow twice the size while it dries. Let it dry.

In a well ventilated area, carefully wrap (or protect) the pot and spray or brush two coats of pink paint onto the pumpkin and dried foam. Let your pink paint dry.

Glue a red pom pom ball to the top center of the pumpkin and a 2” bent green pipe cleaner in the center of the red pon-pom ball for the cherry and stem.

Cut your colorful pipe cleaners into 1/2” pieces and carefully hot glue them to the top and top sides of the pumpkin to look like sprinkles.

Measure and cut your tan pipe cleaners to be the same length as the bottom of the terracotta pot and glue vertically around the pot leaving approximately a 3” space in between.

Next, glue tan pipe cleaners horizontally around the pot leaving a 2-3” space in between to look like an ice cream cone.

To protect your pumpkin, bring your pumpkin outside and spray with a clear coat of spray paint and let dry.

Enjoy!

Create your own DIY Halloween Mason Jar Snow Globes. These homemade snow globes go outside the traditional winter craft and convert into a spooky Halloween Craft.

Halloween Mason Jar Snow Globe

We had so much fun with our DIY Hallwoeen Potion Bottles, that we wanted to share with you another creative craft for the October Season. Take a look at these DIY Halloween Mason Jar Snow Globes. By upcycling a few products, you likely have laying around these house, you can have this out of the box Halloween craft.

We had glue and small Halloween decor on hand and a few Mason Jars leftover from our Christmas Gifts last season. At the Dollar store we picked up glitter and clear candle holders (plastic or glass is fine, grabbing a colored or mercury glass candle stick holder could be nice too!) We picked up Vegetable glycerin online.

Below our our step by step directions to make your DIY Halloween Snow Globes. You can step it up a notch. Consider spray painting your tops black. Add some Mod Podge and dip in glitter so your top shines too. Our decor was less spooky with a spider inside, but you could also add a skull or some bones for a creepier look!

Have fun and happy crafting.

Supplies:

Mason jars of different sizes
Plastic or Glass candle holders
Metal spiders (or other Halloween decor)
Glitter
E6000 Glue
Water
Vegetable glycerin (optional)
Craft sticks

Directions:

Carefully glue your spiders to the bottom or sides of jar or glue to a craft stick and let dry.
Fill the bottom of your jars with a couple teaspoons of glitter.
Carefully glue a jar to the top of your candlestick holder and let dry.
Fill your jars with water and a tablespoon of vegetable glycerin.
Screw the lids back on tightly.
Shake and let the glitter fall.

Fa-BOO-lous Teacher Gift for Halloween

I was a teacher for a number of years before having my children… my five children. Because of my background, I always want the teacher to know how appreciated she is. I always appreciated it when parents recognized me (even with small gestures) and i want to do the same for my kids’ teachers. Because of my five children, I can’t always be present or who my gratitude in person. There are many ways I have showed it otherwise. I have bought nice quality candy bars during checkout of the grocery store, I have picked up small $5 Starbucks Gift Cards (take a look at our awesome printable there) and I have had the kids write notes of thanks on various occasions.

I wanted to give you all something creative and crafty. We made ghost spoons to gift to a Fa-BOO-lous teacher. We are giving you the FREE Printable Halloween gift tag, so you can make white chocolate ghost spoons with us or you can gift the tag attached to a gift that you choose. It’s your call. It’s yours free for being a loyal reader! It’s our Halloween thank to you!

A Halloween Preschool Craft perfect for the kids. Make a paper plate Frankenstein Monster with simple supplies. This is a kid-friendly, easy, October craft that can be done at home on a rainy day, in a pre-k classroom, or appropriate for any young artist – enjoy!

Frankenstein Halloween Preschool Craft

Are you a teacher of a preschool classroom or elementary school? We have an adorable, not-so-scary monster craft for you and your young artists. Chances are you have most of these supplies already on hand, just pick up some Apple Green Paper Plates. We did this craft with a glue stick but if an adult is on hand, you could use a Hot Glue Gun to ensure a stronger hold. Hang on a window or bulletin board and enjoy!

Supplies:

Directions:

Take your black foam paper and cut out Frankenstein’s Hair. This makes a perfect cutting exercise for little ones! Just have them cut out triangles. You can pre-trace with a pencil.
Once you have hair, take your glue stick and swipe it a few times on the back side of the black foam paper hair also suggest gluing around the edging of the plate where you will place the hair. To ensure a strong setting, have an adult use a glue gun.
Place the glued black foam paper hair onto your green paper plate.
Next use your glue stick (or hot glue gun) to place on your eyes. We used eyes that were the same size, but using different size eyes might create a creepier monster.
Once your eyes are set, take your black electrical tape and cut a piece long enough for Frankenstein’s mouth. Then cut that piece of electrical tape in half making a thinner mouth.
Tape the electrical tape mouth onto your green paper plate. We placed ours at an angle.
With your leftover electrical tape, cut the remaining tape into a bandage for Frankenstein’s head.

Now you have your own Paper Plate Frankenstein!

It was a challenge to try to blend the contradiction of farmhouse and Halloween. The two descriptors are practically opposites, but we did it. We found Inspiring Fall-o-Ween Farmhouse Halloween Decor that will look good in any fall farmhouse vignette.

Fall-o-Ween Farmhouse Halloween Decor

Let me tell you a phrase that is not trending… Farmhouse Halloween Decor. You can find fall decor, you can find farmhouse decor, you can find Halloween decor, but trying to blend Halloween and Farmhouse just isn’t a thing… or is it? We searched high and low to try to find you some of the most creative, spooky, and and even warming Farmhouse Halloween Decor that will look good in any fall farmhouse vignette.

So much of establishing a farmhouse, begins at a front door. Be sure to take a look at our Porch Halloween Ideas and Patio Decor. We also find the mantle and table to be very important.

Mouth-Watering Vampire Halloween Donuts

We have the cutest Dracula food craft for you this fall season. These Vampire Halloween Donuts will have anyone craving a mouth-watering bite of this tasty Halloween doughnut. I want to suck… that icing!

Mouth-Watering Vampire Halloween Donuts

I seriously love planning Halloween for you all. I think some of my most creative posts cover Halloween (if I may pat myself on the back- ha ha!) I am not sure if it is the temperatures cooling off, the lull of creativity over summer, or the beginning of the seasons, but I love when Halloween season hits and I can come up with all these creative food crafts and Halloween decorations.

This week we wanted to bring to you these very creative Halloween Food Crafts – Dracula Donuts. Speaking of donuts, I had to do some research among my friends – how do you spell donuts? Donuts or Doughnuts? I do it both ways so you will see me interchange the words in the post, but the majority of the vote spelled it donuts – we all blame Dunkin Donuts for the evolution of the word. Dictionary.com prefers doughnuts…. I digress.

Back to our tasty Halloween treats. I especially loved this recipe, because it is easy and you can create these adorable vampires in a matter of minutes. In addition to doughnuts (we just picked up some pre-made cake doughnuts at the grocery store but Krispy Kreme would be a great idea too), you will need a few supplies. Fake vampire teeth are a must. We picked up two dozen for around $5 – a pretty good deal to me! Also grab 1 container of purple frosting, red gel icing, and black icing. I think a black gel tube or a black icing writer would be best for this, as well, to properly shape the hairline. We used black dots for the eyes because I had no candy eyes in my pantry but I have always loved the Wilton Candy Eyes when doing food crafts. They were really cute on our Halloween Jalapeno Popper Mummies.

Enjoy your tasty vampires!
