Grateful for Handmade Home Decor

Happy November to all!!

I am making this month a month filled with 

Grateful, Thankful and Blessings

To start I have decided to create handmade 

home decor

to make our holidays special...

I would love to share with you this adorable

pumpkin candlestick!

Which will be placed on our Thanksgiving table center piece,

I am going for a white decor this year...

(don't get me wrong I love the beautiful bright rusty colors)

I am trying something new and keeping it all

creams, naturals and white color!!

I used a dollar store candle stick, paper doily

and 

a paper mache' pumpkin

gesso for painting it white

Create a junk bow with a rolled muslin flower,

for the topper

is a Christmas ball (tiny) that I pushed down

through the stem of the pumpkin.

Last I sprayed some beautiful glimmer 

with  

Ranger's Perfect Pearls Mists in Biscotti

Have a Blessed Day!

Paper Pumpkin Time!!!

That's right it's that time of the year...for paper pumpkins...inspired by Miranda and her G45 pumpkin projects on her blog.

I had to create one, which I have created this paper pumpkin years ago..

it was so fun to create this little beauty.

I used some fall scrapbooking papers cut at 3/4 inch by 6

which you need 19-20 strips of paper.

I inked the edges of the papers.

Punched a hole on both ends of the strips.

Hook one edge with a big brad.

Spread out (fan out)

Using another big brad, pull up each strip

and place onto the brad

repeat.

After all the strips are hooked on the brad

fold down the brad pronges.

Form the pumpkin to how you like it.

Now the FUN part

EMBELLISHING your pumpkin

which is all up to your own style...

I cut out leaves, inked and stamped them...

cut out vines and honeycombs.

I used paper flowers I stamed and inked added some gems.

Ribbon for the stem. 

Last I cut out a doily and used a fringed burlap string

to tucked under the paper pumpkin.

whoola!!!

Hope you enjoyed!
