Welcome Wagon
Ken Wingard has a great idea for recycling your pumpkins after Halloween and it involves making your own welcome wagon. If you don’t have a wagon around, you can use an old wheelbarrow. He also advises you to coordinate your colors, either traditional oranges, or trendsetting whites and greens. When it comes to filler, feel free to use old burlap to stick to the theme.
