Concrete Pumpkin Vase


This fun project will leave you with a pumpkin that won't rot! You can use it year after year to hold your favorite Fall flowers.

Here's what you'll need...
Fast drying concrete
Bucket For Mixing Concrete
Hand Shovel
Plastic Pumpkin Bucket
Pam Cooking Spray
Glass Jar
Utility Knife
Twine
E6000 Glue

Spray the inside of the plastic pumpkin bucket with Pam...

Mix the concrete according to the directions and fill the pumpkin bucket with the mixture...

While the concrete is still wet, insert a jar, leaving about 2 inches of the jar above the pumpkin. Set aside to dry overnight.

Use a utility knife to cut away the plastic pumpkin...


Add E6000 to the exposed jar and wrap with twine to create a pumpkin stem...


The jar allows you to use real flowers, but of course, you could use faux flowers.


After Halloween, simply turn the Jack-o-lantern face around, and your pumpkin vase can be used through Thanksgiving...

Halloween "NO SNOW" Globe

It may be snowing in other parts of the world at Halloween, but here in Georgia it can sometimes still feel like Summer.
So, I created a no snow globe that is a super cute addition to my Halloween decor.

I found some small candy corn bottle brush trees and a creepy little witch at Michael's and placed them on a round wood slice...



Before I glued them down, I made sure that a stemless wine glass would fit over them...

Once the trees and witch were lined up to fit under the glass, I glued them to the wood. I also added some moss.

Cute! And, since the glass came from the Dollar Tree, and the trees and witch were 40% off, this was an inexpensive project.

I chose not to glue the glass down so I can still use it once this witch heads up to the attic.
