For this instructable, you will need:
 An old table, one which you can cut a hole in
 A bowl with a hole in the bottom or a lampshade
 A power drill
 A hand saw
 A large Blanket or bedsheet
 A Roll of scotch Tape


Step 1: Make a Hole

-Begin by Marking out a hole in the center of the table, i reccommend a diameter of no more than 10cm.
-Start cutting out the hole by drilling 3, 2" holes around the outside of the circle
-Finish the cut with your hand saw
-Sand the hole with some high-grit sandpaper

Step 2: Cover Up

- Use a Large Bedsheet or Blanket to cover the front and sides of the table so the unsuspecting trick-or-treaters wont see you hiding underneath.
- If you fold the blanket as shown in the pictures, You'll get a perfect cover on all four sides with just enough to reach the ground (depending on the table)
-Use a small piece of scotch tape after each fold to hold the blanket in place.

Step 3: Add a Bowl

Or a lampshade!
-Now cut a hole in the bottom of your bowl and place it on the table so the hole in the table and the hole in the bowl line up.
-use a few small pieces of scotch tape on the inside of the bowl or lamshade to hold it in place.
-Make a sign that says "Please take one" and place it in front of the bowl.
-Crawl under and wait :P
