I had a brainstorm this year! Use a photo backdrop for our trunk or treat! It was great and super easy. Here are the two ideas that we did this year:
For our car we did Harry Potter themed. We usually do Harry Potter because we like to do butter beer. Anyway more on that in a minute. To start our car decorating we simply purchased a Hogwarts 5 x 7 photo backdrop. We bought a 20 foot length of PVC pipe and cut it into two 6 ft and one 8 ft length. We used 2 elbows for the top 2 corners. To get it to stand up, we put two 3 ft lengths of rebar in the ground and then put the side pipes over the rebar. If we didn't have a way to put rebar into the ground, we could have used Christmas tree stands, or somethings similar. Then we had 3 clamps to attach the back drop to the top PVC pipe. We could also have purchased a photo back drop stand, but that is 3 times the cost of what we spent on our supplies :)

Because the decorations were easy, we both had time to think up and add an activity to our cars. As a side note, we could have also looked at using shower curtains. There are a TON of shower curtain designs out there.
