The Simplest Way to Decorate Your Garden this Fall!

I don’t have a crazy story behind this DIY project – it was as simple as my pre-teen complaining that her candy bucket was too “childish” to use for Halloween this year. I looked at that goofy, pink, smiling pumpkin and saw at least five years worth of memories. That cheap little ‘ole candy bucket has been with us through three PCSs for goodness sake! I understood that she no longer wanted to use it, but I couldn’t just drop it off at the local Goodwill. I knew there had to be a way to repurpose it, annnnd maybe I am a little bit of a hoarder when it comes to my children’s belongings. Don’t judge me. However, this is one project that turned out so good that even my husband wondered where I bought it, so I think that is a win for all of us!

Supplies:

Directions:

1 – Remove the handle.
2 – Spray paint the pumpkin.
3 – Plant!

Best of all, this decoration doesn’t have to come down once Halloween ends. This is perfect to use through Thanksgiving, too!!
