Introduction: Build the EVERLASTING Jack’O Lantern

Easily build these pumpkins out of CONCRETE

Supplies

1 bag of concrete for every 2 pumpkins
1 plastic pumpkin bucket for each pumpkin
1 railroad spike for each pumkin

Step 1: Gather Supplies

The round pumpkin shaped buckets work best!

You need one bag of concrete for every 2 pumpkins

Step 2: 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

Step 3: Full the Pumpkins With Concrete

Step 4: 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.

Step 5: Add a Railroad Spike in the Top

Then, allow them to dry for 24 hours

Step 6: Remove the Bucket

I used a razor blade to cut mine off

Step 7: You Can Sand Them If You Want to Make Them Smoother

Step 8: Paint ‘em!

Step 9: They Are Now Ready for Your Porch!
