Halloween Craft Pumpkin Light #PinterestChallenge

My Pinterest Challenge this month was such a fun one!  I was inspired by these jack o' lantern outdoor light covers I found at Arts, Crafts and Family.  So cute, so cheap and so easy!  What a great combination.  Our #PinterestChallenge party is hosted by Erlene at My Pinterventures. You should check out the site. So many good crafts and recipes!

To get started I went to my local Dollar Tree. First, I bought my pumpkin buckets from The Dollar Tree. I didn't worry about messing up the project because I only had $2 invested in it. You can find the loot buckets by following this link. This project is so simple, you can see the steps listed below.
