Fresh Bones 5 Cents Stand

Every year we decorate with either skeletons or witches, this year we decided to make a "Fresh Bones 5 cents" Stand for our skeleton doggies. It was quick and easy to create. We have strong winds where we live, so we added metal stakes inside the standing pallet to make it sturdy. So far we have not had any issue with the "Fresh Bones Stand" falling over. It's so much fun seeing people drive by, point and laugh.
