How can I decorate for fall on a budget?<\/em><\/h3>\n

That is a great question and especially this year, I’m trying to be really budget-conscious with my own fall decor. \u00a0Concrete is such a fun trend in home decor right now and the great news is that it is inexpensive!<\/strong>\u00a0 We have had concrete countertops and polished concrete floors in parts of our home for years and I love them. \u00a0When the design trend started for cement accessories, I was all in!<\/p>\n

My friend Toni from @toni_marianna<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>shared a really fun concrete pumpkin a couple of years ago! \u00a0She made a large one that she used as a planter and it inspired me to try some DIY concrete pumpkins of my own.\u00a0\u00a0I loved it so much and went looking for my own pumpkin form so we could give it a try.<\/strong><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Intro Text” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Then, I came across these inexpensive\u00a0jack-o-lantern buckets <\/a><\/strong><\/span>and thought they would be so cute, especially for budget-friendly fall DIY decor! \u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/span>Actually, I don’t really decorate for Halloween, but what’s not to love about a friendly, concrete jack-o-lantern face and a $1.25 pumpkin?!<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

At the same time, we made some planters with the large trick-or-treat buckets<\/a><\/span><\/strong> and I enjoyed them all fall! \u00a0I styled them with the face showing around the \u00a0Halloween season and just turned them around to a regular pumpkin for the rest of the fall season! \u00a0<\/strong>After all, it’s great to have home decor accessories that can serve double duty!<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”TABLE OF CONTENTS” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Concrete-Pumpkin-2-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Concrete Pumpkin (2)” admin_label=”pic concrete planter” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”intro to candle holders” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]

How do you make a jack o lantern out of concrete?<\/em><\/h3>\n

I was in the store one day and saw the miniature jack-o-lantern buckets<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. \u00a0So super cute! \u00a0I immediately knew they would be the cutest pumpkin candle holders. <\/strong>\u00a0With this purpose in mind, I\u00a0absolutely love them even more. \u00a0Again, I love that I can use the face side or if I want a plain pumpkin, just turn them around!<\/p>\n

Robb made several for me in an afternoon and I had fun styling them on tablescapes, shelves, and console tables. \u00a0This is an inexpensive, easy fall afternoon DIY project!<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
