Gather Supplies
The round pumpkin shaped buckets work best!

You need one bag of concrete for every 2 pumpkins
Mix Concrete
The wetter the mixture, the better. If you can leave the pumpkins outside, you want to drill one small hole in the bottom of the pumpkin buckets. This will allow the pumpkins to dry faster
Full the Pumpkins With Concrete
Top Them Off
The concrete may settle a little. Fill them with more concrete as the settle. MAKE SURE all of it it gets wet as you pack it in.
Add a Railroad Spike in the Top
Then, allow them to dry for 24 hours
Remove the Bucket
I used a razor blade to cut mine off
You Can Sand Them If You Want to Make Them Smoother
Paint ‘em!
They Are Now Ready for Your Porch!
