Fabric Pumpkins Makeover

I know these fabric pumpkins are one of the oldest tricks in the book, but c'mon they are still pretty cool.  After making my twine pumpkin out a roll of toilet paper and now posting this project you're going to think I have an obsession with toilet paper.  I like to think of it as "Food Storage."  When the world is coming to an end and we are grabbing our most valuable possessions you can bet I will call out, "Honey, grab the pumpkins!"  Ok that's not the real reason I use tp but it is pretty funny if I say so myself.  Toilet paper is one of those perfect forms for pumpkins and inexpensive.  Fabric pumpkins were one of my very first craft projects as a newly wed several years ago.  Here is what they looked like then.

Having Some Pumpkin Fun

Are you ready for some pumpkin fun?  If you can't tell by all my previous fall posts, I love pumpkins and have been working on one pumpkin project after another.  The only thing that could make all this pumpkin fun better is to have a mantle.  I long to be able to decorate a fall mantle but since that isn't an option right now I will stick with my side table and make the most of it.  Can you believe I made most of those decorations?  I know, I'm still in shock myself.

The Curse of the Fall Pumpkins

You may recognize these fall pumpkins from last year.  Yes it has taken me that long to complete them but its not a for a lack of trying.  When I started this project I was thinking this would be an easy, classy project.  How hard can painting fall pumpkins be?  It should be fairly easy unless you purchase a cursed pumpkin.  Dun, Dun, DUN! 

Pintastic Monday Link Party #9

Welcome to our ninth edition of Pintastic Monday where bloggers come together and pin one another's projects.  Last week's Fall Edition Party was a huge success.  If you are in need of some inspiration or great recipe that is the place to go:) If you are a Facebook Fan you will know that I have started to truncate my posts.  I hope you will click on the link to see the whole posts and continue submitting your awesome projects.  In addition I HIGHLY recommend adding a watermark to your photos so that as people pin your projects you will still get the credit:)

Halloween Wreath and Banner

I started working on this Halloween Wreath over a month ago.  After completing my 4th of July straw wreath I knew I wanted to make one more but for Halloween and I think this Halloween wreath is even better than the original.  It's so graphic with  just the right amount of color.  I promise though this is my last straw wreath... that I know of.  It has so many different looks to it. 

Simple Fall Crafts - Book Pumpkins

I am all about the simple fall crafts this year as my schedule seems to be stretched to the max.  Even better is when I can find simple fall crafts that cost me little to nothing like this book pumpkin.  I was able to make it from things I already had at home which gains points for frugality and recycling. 

DIY Fall Shabby Pumpkin

I have about 5 DIY fall projects in the works and this shabby pumpkin is the first to be finished.  It really was easy to make and fairly inexpensive.  I had most of the supplies sitting in my house already.  I just had to go buy more twine, as I ran out.
