I know we’re coming down to the wire for Thanksgiving decor. Â I also know that I said no more pumpkins. Â (Never mind.)
(I did this a few years ago, but wanted to “bump” it.) Â A simple decoration for your Thanksgiving buffet or entry way:
This was super easy to do. Â You will need:
- an old candlestick
- an old plate
- a pumpkin (real or fake)
- glue
- silver spray paint
- white paint (acrylic or spray paint)
- white or transluscent glitter
- black ribbon (and any other embellishment you might want)
- cardstock
Glue the plate to the top of the candlestick. Â When dried, paint it silver. Â Paint the pumpkin white, then sprinkle with glitter. Â When dry, adhere the pumpkin to the plate. Â Create a little card or tag with the word or phrase of your choice. Â Wrap the ribbon around the stem and attach the card to the ends.
Easy!

I remember this one.
I’m calling PA now. Pumpkins Anonymous. They serve…pumpkin roll at their meetings.
I love this pumpkin ~ blingy! Have a Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Vivienne! : )
