How to Make a Darling Pumpkin Ice Bucket for Your Halloween Party
Posted on October 10, 2019
Hosting friends or neighbors for Halloween this year? I’ve got a quick and simple Halloween party idea that will add the perfect touch to your table! In fact, this Darling Pumpkin Ice Bucket can be made at the same time you’re carving pumpkins with your crew! Except this one will only take about 5 minutes with no intricate jack-0’lantern details!
We are hosting this month and aside from coming up with a menu, some cute Halloween decor touches are in order! I remembered we hollowed out a pumpkin to use as an ice bucket / wine chiller a couple years ago for my Girls Night In Halloween Party and thought you might want to make one, too!
It took about 30 seconds to cut the opening and about 5 minutes to scoop out the inside and fill with ice!

DIRECTIONS FOR HOW TO MAKE A DARLING PUMPKIN ICE BUCKET FOR YOUR HALLOWEEN PARTY
Once you have your large pumpkin home, take a serrated knife and cut around the top. You’ll probably want to cut about 4-5 inches [radius] from the stem. Be careful when making your cut!
You can make your opening as big or as small as you like. I wanted to be able to put a bottle of wine or champagne inside with some room around it.
Next, scoop out the inside to remove the pulp and seeds.
After that, fill completely with ice and add a scoop or use it as a pumpkin wine chiller and add your bottle and pour the ice around!
However you decide to use your pumpkin ice bucket, it’s certainly going to a darling addition to your party table! And your guests are sure to be impressed. This super simple statement will be something the kids will love, too!
