WITCH JACK-O-LANTERN | WALMART DIY STACKED PUMPKIN DECOR

Prepare yourself for another post in our Crafty Chaos series...

I've seen some variation of this cute pumpkin decoration floating around social media for a while now, and I was determined to make my own darling witch jack-o-lantern decor!

I picked up three jack-o-lantern buckets from Walmart for $1.94 each. The first step was cutting the handles off each bucket — on both sides — so they could stack nicely without anything ticking out. 

When the handles were cut off, I glued the three jack-o-lanterns together, stacking them one on top of the other using E6000 adhesive. After gluing them, I grabbed a paper towel and wiped away the excess glue before it had a chance to fully set. 

E6000 takes anywhere from 24-72 hours to fully cure, so I let the pumpkins sit overnight before moving on to the next step. 

Once everything was fully dry, it was time to spray paint!

I used Charcoal Rust-Oleum Metallic spray paint, which I found at Walmart for $9.98.

To make sure I covered every inch, I painted the stacked pumpkins from two angles. I started spraying them right-side up first. After that coat dried, I flipped the entire stack upside down to spray the bottoms and the upper lip areas of the pumpkins.

After everything was fully coated, I moved the pumpkins into the garage to cure. There was a bit of a breeze outside, and since the buckets are so lightweight, I didn't want to risk the wind knocking them over and ruining the paint job after all that work!

For the finishing touch, I found the cutest lace witch hat at Walmart for $6.98. It has black feathers and a glitter skull on it — which honestly made it even more perfect for this project.

To help the hat keep its shape, I stuffed plastic grocery bags inside (tissue paper or stuffing would work too). This made the hat look fuller and sit better on top of the pumpkins. 

After filling the hat, I placed Gorilla duct tape over the opening to keep the bags from falling out. The nice thing about this is that when Halloween is over, you can remove the tape and bags so the hat flattens for easy storage until next year.

That's it — your very own adorable witch jack-o-lantern decoration!

This project was super easy, affordable, and makes such a fun statement piece for Halloween decor. I love how tall and whimsical it looks — like a little pumpkin witch keeping watch over the house.

I'd love to see your take on this project if you make one!
