Rescue a round wooden patio table for a super special place for children to enjoy Halloween snacks. We taped off a jack-o'-lantern face with blue painter's tape and then simply sprayed the table top with a coat of orange paint. Peel back the tape and reveal a happy Halloween face.

A pink, plastic play castle is revived with a coat of purple paint and a black surround made of salvaged lumber and sprayed with chalkboard paint. The result is a clever backdrop that can be a puppet theater, castle facade, and chalkboard drawing station.

Place the structure on a drop cloth, then fill your Wagner sprayer with paint. Spray one or two coats, then let dry.

A trip to the craft store will yield all you need. Spiders, scary trees, birds and faux jack-o'-lanterns will look great in and around this haunted mansion. A fun tip is to illuminate the inside with battery operated candles or mini holiday lights. Add some spooky music and come cob webs and enjoy the best Halloween night ever.
