Copper Pumpkins

My kind of DIY craft & tutorial!
I'm Hooked!

Go to Walmart
Buy some cheap, fake, ugly, mini pumpkins
for $1.00...near the 47 aisles of costumes and candy.

Go to JoAnn's and buy a can of copper
spray paint behind the locked cabinet doors.

Spray the pumpkins, or better yet
have your awesome hubby do it!

From Crass to Class in 120 seconds!
They really are pretty...

It would be fabulous on walnuts, pods or pine cones also!

Enjoy in numerous ways.

If you want some but don't want to store them...
buy the real mini ones at the grocery store and toss
after the autumn festivities.

They would make great place markers at Thanksgiving.
Just prop a cute little name tag against the stem.

Most of the different shapes they have @Walmart

In case you can stop over for dinner!
Click Click for a closer look...

I promise our walls are NOT lime green,
not sure why they are coming out
this way with our new camera!

Love the copper pumpkins! It sounds like you had a great visit to Utah.

I have to agree I think we do have some wonderful shops here. I have a three year old and do not visit them nearly as much as I would like, but when I do it is so inspiring!!

Thanks for your comments I do love hearing what you have to say!
Chat with you later-Angela

Bonnie - so nice to hear from you! Yes, this travel stuff is SO FUN! J. had to DRAG me out of the house to get over here, I just couldn't see leaving the kids etc. etc. But once I was on the plane, I was good! I am very jealous of Bry. and Jan. time in Italy. How lucky you are to go over there. Have a wonderful Christmas!
