This Halloween watering can with lights adds a spooky twist to the original. Our watering can with lights that we made a couple of years ago has been one of our most popular posts of all time. I’ve seen hundreds of pictures of that watering can recreated and I just love how much fun readers have had making them. When my daughter and I spotted this black watering can, an idea popped into my head!

Halloween Watering Can with Lights

This DIY watering can with lights is even easier to make than my original. This black watering can does not have a removable spout so making the lights cascade out is easy! You can get the purple string lights HERE and the orange string lights HERE.

Supplies:

• Small black plastic watering can
• Black planter box
• Soil
• Purple and orange flowers
• Purple string lights
• Orange string lights
• Small glass vase or hurricane
• Shepard’s Hook
• Hot glue
• Plastic spiders or cockroaches

Instructions:

When I got started, I began with a black planter and shopped for some Halloween-colored flowers. I filled up the planter with soil as well as orange and purple flowers. Perfect colors for Halloween! It’s half beautiful and half spooky.

I left the center of the planter open for a small glass hurricane. I have been seeing some gorgeous homemade planters with glass hurricanes holding a candle in the center.

The plastic cockroaches are so creepy in real life! I arranged them to look like they were crawling around the watering can. The purple light strand makes the inside of the watering can glow, which is perfect for creating a spooky Halloween evening ambiance.

This Halloween glowing watering can with lights is both beautiful and spooky! Pick a special spot in your garden or yard where you’d like to hang the watering can. It’s so unique! Once Halloween is over, you’ll want to make our original watering can pouring lights.
