Easy DIY Paper Mache Pumpkin Container

"Last year I challenged myself to decorate for fall by recycling things I found laying around my home. I grabbed an old plastic candy bucket, paint, some leftover wrapping paper from a previous Christmas (newspaper or other scrap paper could be used as well), whipped up some paper mache paste and ended up with something I look forward using every fall season for many years to come. It was super easy to do and you do not have to be a paper mache expert to end up with something super special. See full directions, including paste recipe on my original post."
