Create an authentic-looking fortune teller booth to really bring your Mystical Misfortune Halloween Dinner Party to life. Guests will love coming to the booth and having their fortune told by a spooky two-headed gypsy skeleton. I predict a magical evening under the fortune tellers' watchful eyes. Keep lighting low to add to the magical ambiance and enjoy as misfortunes unfold.
The insert inside the Tri-Fold Black Foam Board is the same width as the center of the tri-fold board. Fold the insert in half and cut out a 3-tiered scalloped shape, starting narrower at the top and getting wider on the 2nd and 3rd scallops. Do not cut right out to the edge of the insert with the 3rd scallop. At the end of the 3rd scallop make a straight cut 3-4" out to the edge.
Open out the insert and use it as a template. Place the template approximately 3-4" down at the top of the middle section of the foam board. Temporarily secure it in place.
Cut around the template with a craft blade. This creates the patterned top outer edge of the booth. Next, cut out an arch under the scalloped edge, stop a few inches after the end of the 3 scallops. At this point cut out to the left and right by approximately 3" and then straight down to the bottom. This creates the open window to the booth.
Next, use a gold foil pen to outline the edges of the booth.
Cut out an eyeball from a Vintage Halloween Beverage Napkin. Use Mod Podge® to adhere the eyeball to the top scallop shape at the front of booth.
Next, using scissors, remove the stars from the Gold Glitter Star Garland and the moons from the Phases of the Moon Garland. Glue them to the front of the booth around the opening.
Place the booth frame on a tabletop. Drape the sides of the booth (the tri-fold foam board flaps) with Deluxe Creepy Cloth.
Seat the Two-Headed Life-Size Posable Skeleton behind the booth. Add a Mystical Crystal Ball and some tarot cards in front of the skeleton. The skeleton is now ready to spin tales of misfortune for your guests!
