DIY Pumpculent

October 25, 2016 by Drafts & Crafts

What do you get when you combine a pumpkin and a succulent? A pumpculent- basic chicks are going crazy! Catch the details to this fall DIY.

{Materials}

• succulents (4 for a medium size pumpkin)
• heirloom pumpkin
• soil
• sharp knife
• spoon or garden spade

1. Cut the top of the pumpkin off with your knife.
   
2. Use your spoon or spade to scoop out the inside of the pumpkin. Spoon in some soil and place you succulents in the soil.
3. Tip: Water your succulents one per week. They do not need much water, but they do need sunlight to last a long period of time.

We are crossing another item off of our fall bucketlist with this “craft.” I love me some succulents! I would have them in every corner of the house if my husband would let me. Truth be told, I somehow kill cacti?! How do I even manage this.. it is because I am better at giving advice than taking it. I usually don’t give my succulents get enough sunlight. I am determined to keep this creation alive for as long as possible. This pumpculent (I am coining this term) would make an awesome center piece or front porch attraction. I used an heirloom pumpkin since they are more rustic looking and I love the cool colors they come in, like green and peach. Do you have any fall projects or fun crafts in mind?
