An outdoor pumpkin planter can add some fun and festiveness to any fall decor. Here are a few ideas of unique and creative pumpkin planters:

1. Classic Carved Pumpkin Planter

Materials: Large pumpkin, knife, soil, plants (mums or succulents work great).

Instructions: Scoop out the pumpkin, remove seeds and pulp, fill with soil, and add your flowers or succulents. It will biodegrade over time, feeding the surrounding soil naturally.

2. Stacked Pumpkin Planter

Materials: Three pumpkins of varying sizes, pots or planters, soil, fall flowers.

Instructions: Scoop out the pumpkins and stack them, largest at the bottom. Add soil and flowers to each pumpkin, creating a tiered planter effect.

3. Painted Pumpkin Planter

Materials: Pumpkin, paint, potting soil, small potted plant.

Instructions: Paint the pumpkin with fall-themed designs or a solid color. After it dries, hollow out the pumpkin and place a small potted plant inside.

4. Pumpkin Wagon Planter

Materials: Small wooden wagon, pumpkins (real or artificial), soil, flowers.

Instructions: Hollow out one or two pumpkins and plant your flowers in them, then place the pumpkins in the wagon for a mobile decor piece.

5. Mini Pumpkin Planters

Materials: Small pumpkins, succulents or small plants, soil.

Instructions: Scoop out mini pumpkins and insert small succulents. Place them on your porch or hang them in macrame holders for a playful decoration.

6. Pumpkin Basket Planter

Materials: Basket, pumpkins, soil, seasonal plants.

Instructions: Arrange several pumpkins in a rustic basket. Hollow one or two pumpkins to plant your flowers, giving the arrangement an autumnal, cozy feel.
