Remember that game Pretty, Pretty Princess that you probably played when you were a little girl? Oh how I loved that game, but I was am a sore loser and I always hated when I had to get that wretched black ring! Now, this game has nothing to do with my post whatsoever, but the post title reminded me of it and I would think that black ring would fit right in with fall and Halloween.
Pumpkin Fall Decor
Pumpkins are pretty much the very first thing I think of when it comes to fall. They’re the perfect decoration and there are so many delectable pumpkin desserts that everyone is crazy about come September/October. I actually decorated my house for fall quite a few weeks ago. I was pretty eager to bust out the fall decor! My collection of pretty fall decorations has grown quite a bit though and today I want to focus on my pumpkins! Here are some pretty pumpkin ideas I found around the internet…okay mostly from Pinterest.
I love how many different colors pumpkins and other gourd come in naturally, but I am not against paint, glitter or even lace to spice them up a bit!
Distressed Painted Pumpkin
Here’s a quick and easy pumpkin project that I did just yesterday! I wish I had a different type of paint, but I just used what I had and made it work!
Items needed for project:
– Pumpkin of choice
– White paint {NOTE: I had spray paint, but I know that chalkboard paint would work the best!)
– Hard bristled scrub brush/sand paper
Paint entire pumpkin with paint of your choice |
Using the tough bristled bush, scrub randomly at paint on pumpkin until you reach your desired look |
Ta Da! Okay, mine didn’t turn out quite the way I wanted it to. I wasn’t really thinking about the texture of spray paint, it was late and I just wanted a painted pumpkin! |
It does look cute from afar though on my new table! |
Have you made any pumpkin crafts this fall?
If you’re looking for an easy one, give this distressed painted pumpkin a try! Hopefully I’ll be carving a pumpkin with my friends later this week! I’ll be sure to let y’all know how that goes. Have a great Tuesday!
