This DIY project transforms a medium pumpkin into a festive ice bucket for your Halloween or fall gatherings. After cutting off the top and scooping out the insides, you line the pumpkin with a plastic bag or container, fill it with ice, and add your favorite beverages. Replace the lid for a decorative look that doubles as a cooler.
