Default Crafted costume prizes

So I figured this would be possibly one of the best places to ask this and I know its kind of late but I'm one of those kind of girls.

I have planned to make pretty cool prizes for our costume contest at our party. So far I've come up with zombie sock monkey for Best, monster wreath (fur wreath with eyeballs) for Sexiest, and a blood pillow for Scariest (which I've already made).

The one I'm stuck on and can't seem to get creative about is Funniest. Any suggestions?

Only thing I could come up with was a trophy made out of a bone (funny bone that is). You could probably hot glue it to a foam base and paint it. Other then that I am drawing a blank. Wonder what others can come up with.

Well I just ended up making blood pillows for the three minor prizes and everybody loved them. I told them to make sure they take pictures of themselves with the pillows. Maybe next year I'll work out some other ideas. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Blood pillow sounds interesting--how do you make it?

Well I'm not sure how others do it, but I just basically picked out a red velvet fabric at JoAnn's that resembled blood. Then I just freehand an amoeba like pattern onto the fabric with marker, sewed it up along the freehand pattern, flipped inside out, stuffed it, and closed up the stuffing hole. It really only took me about 30 minutes a pillow, maybe less.

Then when someone lays on one with their eyes closed and someone snaps a shot from above, it looks like a blood pool under their head. Its really neat.
