    Pumpkin Planters

    Published: Oct 9, 2015 · Updated: Feb 28, 2022 by Tara Teaspoon · This page may contain affiliate and sponsored links. See my full disclosure


    Turn faux pumpkins into chic planters. Just do it! They are so dang fancy!! (Mostly I love that you can put little succulents in them and I just dig succulents.)


    The cutest gal Bre, at Bre Purposed blog came up with this great Fall idea.
    Metallic colors are the coolest and green plants and succulents looks great in the painted pumpkins.

    Simply cut the tops off plastic or Styrofoam pumpkins, hollow them out, fill with dirt and plants. Plus a bonus if you use succulents: they stay alive if you are like me and forget to water them for...a long time.
