OK, maybe not 50, but it sure seems like I did a whole heck of a lot of pumpkins last fall. As autumn approaches and we gear up to go into another fall season, I thought I’d do a quick recap of my previous no-carve pumpkins.
I had SO much fun with the pumpkins!
These black and white pumpkin topiaries might be one of my favorite Halloween projects ever! I love the ravens holding up the Halloween banner too!
Another one of my favorite pumpkin projects ever? This Crown Pumpkin. I love the glossy black and the lace crown just makes me happy.
You know what else? Every pumpkin needs a bird wearing a hat. And some bling. And some paint.
Here are few other pumpkins that I’ve done over the years… Click to be taken to the easy tutorials.
 |
| I kicked things off last year by tearing up an old flannel shirt and covering a fake pumpkin. |
 |
| Copper pumpkins |
 |
| Thrift store neckties covering Dollar Store pumpkins. |
 |
| And since we’re covering pumpkins with thrift store clothing: an old dress gave its life to turn this trick-or-treat pumpkin into a Halloween decor |
 |
| An old leather belt & various hardware and black spray paint were used on this Punk-In |
 |
| Faux silver mini-pumpkins with black sticks. |
 |
| Speaking of pumpkins and black sticks…. |
 |
| Zebra Striped Duck Tape Pumpkin |
 |
| Duck Tape works for so many things… including saving a craft fail. |
 |
| You can also create a faux mercury glass look by breaking basic spray painting rules. |
 |
Of course you can take your Halloween pumpkins and give them a metallic update that will take you right through Thanksgiving.
 Loved this fake pumpkin, old plate and candlestick make-over. |
 |
| One last pumpkin: add a frosty touch for that week in limbo when Thanksgiving is over, but the Christmas decor is still in the attic. |
I have lots more ideas in the hopper for this year too. Who here is excited about fall?!

August 21, 2012 at 2:05 PMhaha! I remember all your pumpkins from last year! : ) I have to say I’m pretty excited about fall… mainly because we moved to Wisconsin and apparently they have fall here : ) I’m not used to seeing those colors… usually it was just summer straight through to December in Texas!

August 21, 2012 at 3:07 PMStarting to just barely think about Fall, as in, when will it finally cool down! I am excited to think about Pumpkins and Fall Decor. I did NADA around here last year, it was sad. This year I vow to be more festive. You know my favorite Pumpkin is the Punkin. I am making one this year fer sure, fer sure.
