Weekend Project: Halloween Planters
For the Halloween weekend project we put together a variety of festive planters and used some DIY rock spiders to dress them up.
We designed our planters with a colour scheme of purple, white, and orange plants along with various spooky additions that are nods to the holiday season. The supply list can vary depending on what you have or can find. Hover your mouse over the photo for a list of what was used in each planter.
Organic materials showcased in the four photos are ornamental kale, Filius Blue hot pepper, heuchera, aster, crocosmia seed heads, Cinderella pumpkin, warty pumpkin, artists gourds, butternut squash, and buttercup squash.
Other items you’ll see are a witch’s broom, rubber hand, Boo sign, rubber bats, and DIY rock spiders. Most of what we added was readily available in any store carrying Halloween décor. When the holiday is over, we plan to take the kitsch out and leave the gorgeous planters for some festive fall colour. We’ll definitely keep the spiders though!

Great Halloween planters! The hand inside the planter looks spooky!
Fun. I like that the decorations are a part of the plant display as opposed to simply overwhelming it.
The are all very clever and elegant, but I like the broom arrangement best.
