When you find an old, sorta rusty and totally broken garden shovel, do you toss it? Of course not! You re-purpose it into a happy Halloween ghost plant stake. When a gardening shovel is no longer useful for digging holes, transform it into a friendly ghost for a touch of cute spook in the garden! And the best part? This project took all of 5 minutes!

Protect your ghost with clear coat spray.
