You’ll also need to provide your own flameless candle. Keep in mind that you’ll want to keep them in a protected area if you place them outdoors, so they don’t get damaged by the elements. “They can be used with real or faux candles and would make a beautiful lit pathway up to your home or on the front porch.” “What’s best about these is the ambiance they give off,” Lambert says. There’s an opening in the bottom for a candle (with a real flame or flameless), and its light will shine through the gaps all around the luminary-imagine the glow on a dark October evening. These luminaries will last season after season. Not so with these gorgeous gourds: They closely resemble real pumpkins in shape and color, but they’re crafted of powder-coated metal for durability and longevity. We all love the look of pumpkins piled on a porch or patio, but after a while, real pumpkins start to go south. See our Halloween front porch and curb appeal update, here.Put them in a covered area, such as a porch, so they don’t rust or weather. If you like white pumpkins, wouldn’t a whole slew of white or even blue carved jack-o-lanterns make for an interesting Halloween porch display? I only used about 1/5 of the porch paint, so the next phase will be painting the stairway down to our basement.īoth of these were easy projects you could do in one day.Ĭeramic white painted jack-o-lantern: $5.00 It’s a long way from our ideal, but it’s certainly better than before.
OUTDOOR CERAMIC JACK O LANTERN UPDATE
Ken had been busy making an Adirondak set with the left over wood from the picnic table project, so we also finished staining those two pieces in the color Driftwood by Pittsburgh Paints and Stains.īringing all of these together we’ve given the house an inexpensive back porch update with a touch of Fall inspiration.
To paint the stoop, I used Dutch Boy Porch and Floor paint in color: Oak Hollow.I could (and should have) given it a coat of clear wax.īecause while the paint was drying on the ceramic pumpkin, I was getting busy painting our cement porch stoop.The stem was painted tan, with a few touches of dark brown paint for contrast.I applied mostly white with tan accents, applying white and tan paint layers until I liked the look.I used white and tan chalk paint with a craft paint brush.This little jack-o-lantern makeover couldn’t have been easier. After all, the color on this one was just a little too orangy for my taste. So I thought I’d try to paint the mid-sized one the color white. I did however have three thrifted faux jack o lanterns in my collection of Halloween goodies. But how about white carved pumpkins or jack o lanterns? While I actually only have one white pumpkin this season (a gift from my sister from the bonfire night) I didn’t want to carve it.
White pumpkins are steeling the show these days.
