Pumpkin Decorating

Happy Fall everyone!

I was inspired by a posting from Susan @ Between Naps on the Porch 

and decided to give it a try and make one. 

 This is a picture of her finished pumpkin.  

You can click on her name and see her tutorial.

She used a napkin ring with an acorn attached, mine has a large flower.

While checking out Michael's for supplies I found 

two (and only two) purple flower napkin

rings.  The purple was just what I wanted!

I snipped some pieces off of a faux pick I had and glued them by the stem.

Since mine is faux I also put a dab of hot glue at the bottom to keep the ribbon from shifting.  And I put some hot glue at the edge of the ribbon and the napkin ring so they wouldn't let loose.  

 I made this one for my Mom and mine is below.

I decided to try something a little more dramatic and 

chose a black pumpkin.

The ribbon has soft shading that goes from purple, gold to rust.

I just scrunched the ribbon up near the top.

There are a lot of great ideas being shared on the blogs!  

This one is so easy I had to try it!  

There were so many ribbons to chose from- 

some even had skeletons on them!  

I can imagine many more ways

you could do this.  

Give it a try!

Thanks for stopping by!
