posh pumpkins

Or at the very least, sparkly pumpkins.  I have been looking for a little fall color for the living room, but I didn’t want to add splashes of orange, or anything too folk-ish.  It’s a pretty traditional room.  And I never really put up anything sparkly, other than the occasional chandelier.   But Halloween is coming, and I wanted something to indicate the season as the room is the first thing you see entering our house.   So I got a little creative at the craft store, and I made these last night.  They aren’t quite done – I need a few more things to finish off the backs, and I lost a few rhinestones I will replace, but I think I like them.   Different than anything I had seen around the stores at least.  What do you think – hit or miss?

Best,

Stephanie

  12. Fabulous darling! Last year I did a pumpkin decorating playdate with my daughter and her friends. We used jewels to decorate mini-pumpkins...they had so much fun and there wasn't any mess!

  16. Wow these are wonderful!! I'd really like a full description of how you designed and made them. Are they real pumpkins or fakes? What did you paint them with? How are the rhinestones held on?

    Please tell!
