Duct Tape and Pumpkins!

My oldest daughter lives in the big city of Columbus,

 

She is a city-slicker!

 

So I wanted to make her a dignified pumpkin...

 

You can have carved pumpkins.....

Painted pumpkins.....

and.... glittered pumpkins

But she needed something... hmmm... city-fied!

 

So of course, I picked out duct tape (for my dignified pumpkin)....

 

and a matching duct sheet.

I cut out a letter C, for her name, and outlined it with a black sharpie.

Then, I made my strip of duct tape narrower

 and placed it around the bottom of the pumpkin.

Next, I  put on the letter C,

 

And made a black and orange bow to put on top.

Now, my city slicker child has a pumpkin worthy of Columbus.

 

There are soooo many different things that can be done to pumpkins.

 

I want to try drilling the holes in one so the candle light shines out.

 

What are some of your thoughts?

 

Let me know what you have tried.

 

Love,

Dollar Store Glitz

Add Dollar Store Pumpkin, glitter, glue and an ADD person.....

 

and what do you get.....

 

a glitter pumpkin.

 

My precious friend, Cindy,

 

the one who helped my son make my laundry detergent,

 

came over and we decorated pumpkins with glitter.

 

The only problem is I am ADD

 

Most of the time, I concentrate, work slowly and methodically.

 

But today.....  I don't know what happened.

 

 Cindy carefully places the glue on her pumpkin...

 

 

And I just globbed mine on....

 

I had so much glue on mine...  it was still wet this morning.

 

But it was fun!

 

After we decorated the real pumpkins,

 

we decorated our Dollar Store Pumpkins, with Dollar Store glitter.

 

Again,  Cindy carefully places her glue, and only uses a single color...

 

 

And I just globbed mine on... and mixed all the colors.

 

 

And.... It was fun.

 

We then celebrated with Chocolate Cake.

 

 

Yum! Yum!!

 

And this was definitely fun!

 

My Dollar Store Pumpkin, and my glittery results.

No Matter your personality, no matter your decorating style

 

Come together and Have fun!
