Fall is seriously my favorite time of year. I love everything about it, the smells, the colored leaves & even the decorating styles. There are so many great things about the fall time.
Every year at the first of September I put up my fall home decor. With September only being a few weeks away I decided to find some new fall crafts for my family room. Here is just one of my favorite projects that I found.
Items Needed:
- Pumpkins
- Spray Paint
- Duck Tape
- Stencils
I have seen so many decorative pumpkins on individuals front porches & in their homes but never knew how to make them. After reading a bunch of blog posts I discovered the easiest way to make these pumpkins.
First, you will need to decide on a design you want to do. I wanted painted chevron prints on one of my pumpkins and polka dots on the other.
Next, use your tape or stencil to help you with your design. I attached tape all the way around my pumpkin so that it had chevron prints made of tape all the way around it. I used a stencil for my polka dot pumpkin.
Once my stencil & tape were attached I spray painted the pumpkins with my paint. I let them dry & applied another coat.
After my pumpkins were dry I added embellishments & ribbon and placed them on my front porch. I totally loved how they turned out. I can’t wait to make some more to add to my home decor.
Making your own decorative pumpkins is super easy & can be a lot of fun. You can use real or fake pumpkins whatever you prefer.
Follow my simple tutorial above to add some fun pumpkin decorations to your home for the upcoming holiday season!!
