DIY Dollar Store Pumpkin ideas.

September 6, 2013 2 Comments

You know I love me some pumpkins, right?  There are plenty on my blog (you can see them here) but I came across a couple that I wanted to share.  Both started out as drab little Dollar Store Pumpkins.

Look at these beautiful gilded pumpkins from Karen at Redoux!

These guys went from orange to ooo la la! with paint and this cool gilding process.  Click HERE to learn how Karen did this.  I believe that these beauties were even featured in Romantic Country Magazine too.  Keep up with Karen on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

And how about this super cute Flower Covered Pumpkin from Deneen Dreaming In Color!?  It’s so cute!

Click HERE to see the easy to follow tutorial.  You can also follow Deneen on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, and Instagram.

See you later, pumpkins!
