Hi all,

We got a nice day of unseasonably warm weather today and were going to take advantage of it. Time to clean out our out-building. We have about 30 of these ToT pumpkin buckets (like the one pictured below) that we dont know what to do with. They are several different colors, a few years old, some are faded etc. Throwing them away IS an option, but I just wanted to pick your collective brains to see if anybody has an idea of a use for them before I toss them.

Any and all ideas are welcome. Thanks in advance, Marc V.

I'd message Hilda.....she's the queen of blow molds and I suspect she would be able to come up with something great.

I think these are always kind of neat...I especially love the flower planter style and the taller witch hat style...



I've seen other styles like this, but can't find the pictures online at the moment.

Like the pumpkin towers pictured in the other post I've always wanted to to a lighted pumpkin arch.

Just what Just_Tim said.. Pumpkin columns.

Thanks doto for the shout out. I agree with the others... a pumpkin arch or columns.

Here is the most amazing use of pumpkin pails I have ever seen...

I personally have used dozens of them placed on the ground with lights inside for a fun accent. I've also cut the bottoms out and slid them over the wood post for a simple column.

Looks pretty neat just to have them hanging from some trees:

Here are some options...




Hope this gives you a few ideas. You can look at my website to see where the pumpkins moved from year to year...

My friend Cyclone Jack made a huge arch out of them that was great looking.

 

[matrixmom]

you can even cut them and paint them to look like evil plants: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/107171666109367926/

Or you can make your life size figures hold them after you corpse them: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/107171666109169631/

I also have a pinterest board called all about pumpkins - might give you more ideas: https://www.pinterest.com/mrsfluffsies/all-about-pumpkins/

So glad to see this thread! Bought a pallet of Halloween miscellany today and there were a bunch of those pumpkins in there! (along with a bajillion kids costumes!)

There's some good ideas in here. I have about 50 or those things up in the attic that I haven't touched since I bought them 10 years ago

I just put lights in them and lined my kid friendly area. at night they had a friendly glow.
