It’s Halloween in June, witches!!! Select stores are starting to clear off the evils of the steaming season known as summer and making way for Jack O’ Lanterns and spooky specters! 🎃👻
And, of course, more Halloween crafts!
My kids spent the last week in California with their grandparents, so I had some time on my hands. I finally got around to turning these beautiful pedestals from a recent thrift score into something worthy of the Addams Family.
You’ll need the following:
Decorative pedestals, different shapes and sizes.
Spray paint (I chose black, but you can choose whatever you like).
Cardboard to protect your paint surface: I used an old box from when we moved.
Nitrile gloves.
A shaded, open-air space.
Hot weather.
I started with the three pedestals below. The grand total for all three was just under $10.

What do you think? What would you put on these pedestals?
Gorgeous, Daniella. I am a fan of black.
I love candles, immediately that comes to mind. But I also think gluing some black pots to the pedestals and making them plant stands. Then, I also think of an addition ceramic black sculpture glued to it in the same high gloss black paint.
