Last year we tried (and failed 😅) to make giant pumpkin arches over our driveway, but the buckets made it way too heavy and it all came tumbling down! So this year, we reused those same pumpkin buckets but placed them at the base of each light-up arch instead, and it worked perfectly! 🎃🖤 It was way easier, less time-consuming, and still gives that fun, over-the-top holiday vibe we love. If you love festive DIYs and frugal holiday fun, you’re in the right place! make sure to follow @makingfrugalfun for more ideas like this! 👻 ✨ Supplies for Each Arch: • (3) ¾” x 10 ft PVC pipes • (2) ¾” PVC-lock couplings • (1) 300-count multicolor light strand (any color you like!) • Zip ties to secure lights • (2) ½” rebar rods cut to 3 ft (hammer about 1 ft into the ground) • Pumpkin buckets for each side of the archway 🎃 💡 Tip: Stick the rebar into the ground, slide the PVC pipes over the top, connect the couplings, and zip tie the lights on before placing your pumpkin buckets at the base! 👉 Comment ARCH and I’ll send you the full supply list + links to shop! 🎃 Follow @makingfrugalfun for more easy, budget-friendly holiday DIYs that make your home festive without spending a fortune!
