DIY-Glitter Pumpkin

I am joining Metamorphosis Monday and It's So Very Creative again this week.

You'd think I would have started on some Christmas projects and while I do have a few in mind, I still can't resist sprucing up an old fav!

I got this pumpkin last year, after the Season clearance. I drilled holes in it immediately (before packing it away).

I set it out this year and thought it just needed a little extra something.

(and notice some small Dollar Store pumpkins I was also painting white at the time)

So, I did Modge Podge all over it and covered it in orange glitter.

Looks much better, I think.

In it's resting place, for now.

Thanks for stopping in!

I promise I will have some Christmas projects soon!

It’s Fall, Ya’ll…..and DIY day!

I'm joining Kimba's DIY day at A Soft Place to Land. She is also doing a giveaway so please be sure to check out her site for the details as well as links to many more DIY projects.
Speaking of giveaways.....I recently won a giveaway from Jennifer at Chester and Donkey. It was my first win and I was SO excited to receive my package.

Incase you didn't see her giveaway post, this is what I won.

I am going to do a series of posts that will showcase these within my home.

I took some gold scrapbook paper and cut it to fit the frame (which was a beautiful green color...and perfect, but I just started 'splashing' green around my house).

Then, I took some faux leaves from the Dollar Tree (I love that place) and glued them onto the paper.

Then, I took that pumpkin and gourd....also from the Dollar Tree (bag of 6 at that!) and cut them in half, painted glue on them and sprinkled them with orange glitter.

Then, I glued them onto the leaves in a random pattern. Like the way it turned out?

I do! And here is it's new home on my Fall mantel.

Thanks again Jennifer!
