DIY Test Tube Science Party Invitations

These 5-minute DIY Scroll Test Tube Invitations are indeed for those that are faint of heart but still want to celebrate Halloween!

I’ll be super honest with you, I’m kind of a wimp. I don’t do scary things well at all.

I’m the twenty-five year old that still covers her eyes in movies and has to run and jump in bed after something creepy. (I wish I was joking).

Alas, it should come as no surprise that decorating for Halloween is not really my thing. It’s all about pumpkin carving and lattes for me, but scary or gory I don’t do.

Dinner parties on the other hand, I got that covered! 

These five-minute DIY scroll test tube invitations are indeed for those that are faint of heart but still want to celebrate.

You can make them as creepy crawly as you’d like by adding little knick knacks (like spiders or fingers), or leave them simple with a scroll and plastic bone.

It’s kind of a mystery dinner meets Halloween. We actually made these for our Mad Scientist Party!
