My little guy already had a blue plastic pumpkin we used that day for a town Halloween event and I knew it would be easy to make out of a green plastic pumpkin. The idea to personalize the kiddos’ trick-or-treat buckets came to me when we were talking to a family friend about TMNT painted pumpkins. With a little spray paint and a one dollar plastic pumpkin, you could have an adorable addition to any Halloween costume.
I only have two kids, but I have a million ideas for personalizing the cheap plastic pumpkin buckets to go with different costumes.

I have a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and Cinderella trick-or-treating this year, so we made a TMNT Raphael pumpkin bucket and Cinderella’s carriage, but my creative juices are going crazy with other possibilities! With just a little pant and time, that plastic pumpkin trick-or-treat pail can look like a part of the costume. A DIY Personalized Halloween pumpkin bucket is so much fun to get creative with and very easy to make. Instead of toting around generic plastic pumpkin buckets for trick-or-treating, make those buckets a matching part of the kiddos’ costumes.
