Yes, it's that time of year.
Yesterday I had fun glittering and embellishing plain store bought orange plastic pumpkins.
Here are the steps:
1} remove stems
2} spray paint pumpkins silver
3} when dry, spray on adhesive
4} sprinkle on silver German glass glitter {or whatever you have on hand}
5} let dry
6} spray with varathane to protect the glitter and to keep it from falling off too easily
TIP: I did all this outside and used skewers from the kitchen poked into each pumpkin where the stem goes to hold them while I spray painted, glittered, etc.
Then comes the fun part.
I replaced the stems but added vintage velvet leaves that I took off an old hat.
If you don't have any, try cutting out a leaf shape from an old book and hot glue it into place.
I will be bringing these to Ruffles and Rust today along with 2 truckloads of new merchandise for fall!
Have a great day friends!

That's a great way to spruce up (or pumpkin up) some dollar store mini pumpkins and gourds!

OMG!!! I have been following your blog for a few years now and my family and I just moved to Bellevue from Hawaii and for some reason I never knew that you lived in WA...not only do you live in WA, you are only a few miles away from ME!!! Okay, so as weird and crazy as it may sound...I would LOVE to meet you for lunch or something! OMG! Especially since I am new to the vintage, antique, handmade market here...it would be great to begin to network. You can see more about me on my blog too at restorationhouseinteriors.blogspot.com or email me at [email protected] Love, love love your blog, your style and can't wait to hear back from/meet you!
great tutorial. I have been thinking about pumpkins and decorating but really don't like what I see in the stores. I could spice it up a bit like you did though. Thanks
