DIY Fall Pumpkin Planter

This project I am sharing today is the easiest project on the planet. Only have 10 minutes to decorate, well this will work for you! A quick and easy 10 minute fall decorating idea that involves a pumpkin, a knife and a plant! Â It’s that easy! Laura at Finding Home created this fun blogger series a month ago and will run through the holidays.
So what can you do with 10 minutes and a pumpkin?
Try this!
1. Cut the stem off your pumpkin.
2. Clean it out.
3. Drop a mum inside!
Pretty easy right? I am working on a curb appeal project so I can’t share the rest of this image below but as you can see, you just place the planter inside. You can even cut some holes in the bottom for drainage. My parents are away on a tour of the mid-west and I am hoping to get this front entry decorated before my mom gets home as a surprise. My dad won’t even notice but my momma will! 🙂

So do tell, what 10 minute fall decorating projects are you working on? This DIY pumpkin planter was simple and I love how the mum looks inside. Thank you Laura for this fun series and I can’t wait to see what fall ideas you all have! Yay for FALL decorating that is quick, easy and pretty!
