Here are two fun pumpkin ideas for your fall decorating. The great thing about these two ideas is that they can be used all the way through Thanksgiving! You can make them now and keep them through all of the fall holidays!
This first idea is a great way to use a pumpkin and succulent plants! This would be a darling table centerpiece for your Thanksgiving table or you can do what I did and put it in my kitchen windows behind my sink! I love it there!
(Don’t you love that tree in the background with the beautiful leaves??…It is beautiful… until they start falling off and you have to begin raking and mulching them all!)
The succulents are only sitting on the top of the pumpkin! You do not hollow out the pumpkin, so it will not rot on you for a longer amount of time!
Here is a close-up of the plants. I saw this idea on Studio 5, a local TV show, just click on the link for a full tutorial on how to make your own “Perfect Pumpkin Planter”. The best thing about this planter is that you can save the succulents and put them in another planter after you are done with this one! I love that I can recycle this!
And here is another fun pumpkin idea:
Simply put a vinyl monogram on your pumpkin! So pretty and would also be a fun table centerpiece or a fun accent on your Halloween porch:
I will leave this out on my porch after all the Halloween decorations come down. I am loving that I can use both of these ideas long after Halloween!
Here is one more pumpkin planter that I did 3 years ago!
In this planter, the inside of the pumpkin is hollowed out, so it will not keep as long as the succulent planter, but this is beautiful if you need something that does not need to last for months!
What fun pumpkin ideas do you have that you can use for either Halloween or through all of the fall holidays? I would love to hear about them.
I think this about wraps up the Halloween ideas for this year. I hope that you have had as much fun as I have with decorating and making Halloween crafts this year!
Thanks for visiting!
Rita, I love your monogrammed pumpkin…However, for some of us that don’t have a cutter for the vinyl, have you thought of offering that in your shop and we could order a decal thru you? Anyway, what do you think?
Roswitha, I am trying to figure out a way to do this in the store. I would not be able to sell the same monogram that I used on my pumpkin because it is a personal use pattern. I am working on being able to sell the vinyl, but it is only in the working stages thus far. So hopefully, in the future, I will be able to sell my own patterns.
