Thread: Pumpkin Pails...who had neat idea to use?

Tweet

Seems like I saw someone on here do something very neat with pumpkin pails (lighted them maybe)? But I can't remember. If anyone has some neat ideas with pictures, love to see them. I have seen TONS of these left at the Targets that are probably going to hit 90%.

bunch @ my local walmart as well

amk

Someone had painted them black and then carved out various JOL faces, but can't remember whom right now?

The neat one I saw was they stacked them in multi colors and side by side between their porch pillars, and then lit them. I thought of doing that and getting them now from Walmart but, the storage would be horrendous. Can you imagine about 30 pails laying around most of the year? Looked really cool though. I think they used the multi bulb cords from things like dept. 56 houses.

I didn't get any pictures on Halloween seeing that it was raining but I hung two on either side of each end the sidewalk in front of my house/yard and had glow sticks in them. It drew the tot's like a moth to a flame.

I drilled a hole in the bottom of two the size of my living room lamp socket and put them on, then screwed the bulb inside them.

Lots of light though.

I use those pumpkin pails in a number of ways. I have used them for my pumpkin patch, pumpkin lamp posts, hanging pumpings in the trees. You can check out my uses on my website over the years for their uses. I have about 100 of them.

Someone on here painted them and used them as heads for clown props.

i saw where someone stacked them like a wall, and then put glow sticks in them to light them up. and i saw where someone placed glow sticks in them, and set a few of them randomly around their cemetary

I thought about buying some at WalMart when they were like 50 cents apiece, but I didn't. They don't keep their Halloween stuff there very long after 10/31. I wanted to try one to see if they glow under black light. I thought about stacking them up along a wall and make a complete costume out of the front half of them. Have someone in the costume stand in front of the wall (or as an integral part of the wall) and them come storming out at the patrons.
