This project guides you through constructing a dramatic Halloween arch using pool noodles, broom handles, and PEX pipe. After painting the noodles to resemble dark stone, you will thread the pipe through them, bend the assembly into an arch between two stakes, and finish with festive lighting and webbing for a hauntingly beautiful entrance.

Directions
- Drive the two broom handles firmly into the soil on either side of your walkway to create sturdy anchor points.
- Secure four pool noodles end-to-end with tape to create a continuous, elongated cylinder. Once assembled, apply black spray paint followed by a textured stone finish to the entire length.
- Carefully feed the flexible PEX pipe through the hollow core of your painted noodle assembly.
- Hook one tip of the pipe onto the first broom handle, curve the pipe upward to form a graceful arch, and attach the opposite end to the second handle.
- Finish the look by draping solar-powered lights and artificial spider webs around the structure.
