I
wanted to share this little pumpkin makeover. It started out as plain,
styrofoam, dollar store pumpkin. Bright orange, but plain. I bought
it with the plans of making a Halloween themed pumpkin out of it. That
didn’t happen. So I
decided to make a Fall themed pumpkin.

I
used a piece of fall themed scrapbook paper. I’m not the only one that
has books and books of scrapbook paper but doesn’t actually scrapbook
right? Anyway—I tore the paper into small-ish sizes and used Mod Podge
to glue it down. I
tore the paper because I wanted the rough edges and the little peeks of
white. When gluing the paper down, it did wrinkle up in places because
it’s a rounded surface…I like the look. It gives it a vintage-y feel.
Then I glued down a small crochet doily on
the top. I have tons of these things that I pick up at thrift stores
and I’m not always sure what to do with them. This is a great way to
use a small one.
I’m still not sure if it needs a little something
more, but for now it sits with my little fall display,
nestled with the scarecrows and pumpkins.
