What Do You Do With Fall Clearance? Make A Pumpkin Christmas Tree!
Transform your autumn leftovers into a festive holiday centerpiece with this creative pumpkin Christmas tree project.
Our own summary of the original — the full post and photos live at epbot.com.
This project guides you through repurposing fall clearance pumpkins and lanterns into a unique Christmas tree. You will remove the candle and battery pack from a lantern, slide the empty hole over the top branch of the tree, snap off the bottom of the candle and glue the battery part back in sideways, place the LED bar in front of the branch to avoid shadows inside, make ribbon bows using two ribbons (gold and burlap) and attach them to the tree, add twinkle lights to the tree, and add gold balls, twiggy stars, and cute mushroom ornaments as desired.
