Craft ideas for Autumn
Jump to Comments
I am Hooked On pumpkins!!
Pumpkins are such a big part of the fall months. As a little girl I loved carving pumpkins every year with my dad for Halloween and then baking the seeds with my mom, actually, I must admit, I still love that tradition. It was always such a bummer though when the pumpkins started to rot. That’s why this year I have decided to do something different; paint them and make them last all the way through Thanksgiving.
I purchased a bunch of small pumpkins at the grocery store, got out my acrylic paints, glitter, rhinestones and glue and went crazy embellishing. It sure was fun and I’ll get to enjoy them so much longer.

OK, I love the leopard print pumpkin — made me laugh out loud!
Great ideas. We used to paint pumpkins with our girls, too, and their friends — we also found that carving a pumpkin made it collapse way too soon!
Great ideas.

Stunning!
I love girlie stuff, and my favorite is the silvery one with the bling. I also love the yellow polka dots…have seen a lot of black polka dots around, but I am lovin’ your yellow ones.
