As guests arrive at our Dead and Breakfast Inn Dinner Party they will be greeted by a haunted hotel check-in desk, here they will be handed their "room keys" for the evening. These easy DIY Dead & Breakfast Inn room key drink charms also act as drink tags so guests can keep track of their drinks all night long.

Use a permanent maker to write room numbers on round circle tags. I searched for a list of haunted hotels and room numbers and used those as my inspiration for our haunted hotel room keys. Punch a hole in the top of the tag.

Cut a piece of black foam board to fit inside the black picture frame cutout. Glue the frame to the foam board. I also used black duct tape to secure the frame to the board. Flip the frame over and add vinyl letters or stickers to spell out "keys."
