Start by painting several bones from the Bag Of Bones in brightly colored paint. Make sure to paint some bones bright white to really make them pop! Set aside and let dry.

For the table runner, cut a length of Harlequin Tablecloth Roll about 2 feet longer than your table. Fold it in half and place it in the center of your table.

Once the bones have dried, lay out two lengths of Black Tulle Garland and one length of Black Tinsel Garland. Cut a 12-inch piece of Black & White Striped Satin Ribbon. Place bones on top of the garlands and secure with Black & White Striped Satin Ribbon. Repeat every 10 inches.
