The Pumpkin Pot

10/20/2016

0 Comments

 
It’s so easy to get stuck in all the little to-dos of life and business and forget to get my hands creating. This week I tried something new; I came up with themes for each day (Marketing Monday, Accounting Tuesday,...). On “Creative Wednesday” my goal was to create something to keep my creative juices flowing.  Want to get creative this weekend, or maybe join me with a Creative Wednesday? Here’s the cute, quick DIY project I came up with.

Mix up your pumpkin carving this Halloween and create a pumpkin pot!

     Recipe: Pumpkin, potted mums, spanish moss (optional)

1. Trace the mum container. Draw a second circle a half inch outside of the first circle (you'll need to be able to fit the pot inside).

4. If you want to cover up the opening, add live or dried spanish moss.

2. Cut a hole along the outer circle and gut the pumpkin. Wash the inside.

3. Fit the mums (still in their container) inside the pumpkin pot.

​You can also make mini pumpkin pots with small pumpkins and squashes. For this cutie, the mum container was too large for the pumpkin, so I planted a portion of my mum plant directly into the gutted mini squash.
