It is insane, the number of things we come up with when it comes to pumpkins.
What other fruit and vegetable do we spend two months decorating, carving, painting, eating, drinking, and lighting? I mean you name it, we’re going to try to pumpkinize it.
Aside from The Easter Egg, I’m not sure there is any other food that we go this ape shit over. And naturally, I have tossed my hat into the patch and decided to put one of these pumpkin crafts to the test!
Enter, my flower pot pumpkins. For my 49th episode of Crafty Mom’s (not so) Weekly Challenge I carved out a real pumpkin and a fake crafting pumpkin, and I turned them into the flower pots I’ve seen on Pinterest.
You can check out the entire episode here and see how easy this was to actually put together. They turned out really cute, but in the video I said I felt like I preferred the REAL pumpkin as opposed to those weird, fake, crafting pumpkins.
And I want you to know…it’s been a couple of weeks…and I’ve changed my mind about that.

on the plus side, pumpkins are amazing fertilizer. So if you wanted to keep your flowers, just stick the whole thing in a pot and pack with dirt. (if it’s not too squishy to pick up)

haha! The real one looks great! I tried painting the little craft pumpkins. I wanted to spell out “Give Thanks”. I started this last year and got “Give” done. This year I tried to do the “Thanks” and could not freehand the letters worth a darn. They looked like a 5 year old did them. So I wiped them all off and covered the damn things with glitter. When all else fails, add some bling, is my motto.
