but i know many of you are looking for diy ideas for your fall decor, so....
here are my three top pumpkin tutorials:
Sweet Sweater Pumpkins
Faux Concrete Painted Pumpkins
Glass Globe Pumpkins
continue reading for links to these budget-friendly tutorials - and more!
no surprise, the #1 tutorial is the one for my original creation,
created in 2007 after a favorite sweater shrank in the wash,
these are the most 'famous' product i have ever designed!*
they've appeared in several major shelter magazines and on websites & blogs,
and i sold them for years at vintage shows - and here on the blog.
bonus: my easy 'no sew' process makes this a great project to do with kids!
*(well, except maybe that decoupaged baby grand piano bar.... that was also in a magazine...)
every fall the ol' blog gets a HUGE swell of traffic for my tutorial for
faux concrete painted pumpkins
faux concrete painted pumpkins
this realistic effect is achieved with a pretty simple wet-on-wet technique,
using craft or house paint - NOT CHALK PAINT!
nope, that flaky finish is due to a secret ingredient that goes on last!
and the same paint treatment can be used on anything:
wig heads, planters, plastic pumpkin buckets...
ps: i also have a similar paint tutorial for faux terra cotta pumpkins
last but not least is my tutorial for turning vintage glass light globes into
every year i come up with brand new ideas for pumpkin decor,
so don't miss many more fall decor tutorials - see them on my fall tutorials page
i'm not leaning into fall yet, as it's still in the triple digits here in So Cal.
(actually, today i'm headed to a local resort to spend a few days with friends,
including floating around in two pools and a lazy river!)
plus, my August went from being unscheduled and relaxing to a whirlwind of activity -
but i'll be getting to work on a few new pumpkin decor ideas soon.
stay tuned for new posts coming up after Labor Day Weekend!
