Not the Traditional Pumpkin
So this year I opted out of the whole carving of the pumpkin. While I do love it and have done it for as long as I can remember, after trying to help the kids do theirs, I wanted something a little more simple for myself because I'm always exhausted from all the festivities. Of course I turned to Pinterest for my inspiration! I found everything from painting to drilling to bedazzling to melting crayons over the pumpkin, the possibilities are endless!
The style that caught my eye was using things found in a hardware store. Instead of going shopping I headed into the garage to rifle through my husband's territory full of things that I don't know what the heck they are. I took a couple of ideas from Pinterest and merged them together. I started out spraying the entire pumpkin except the stem with an off white, glossy color. The, with the wire I found, I just began to twist and wrap until I was happy with the design and then randomly placed each piece. The eyelets I used to fill in the extra space and to give it a bit of a pop. This was actually very easy and a lot less work than sawing through those big ole pumpkins...plus it looks super cute! I might be doing something new from now on.
Each year our family congregates at my parents' house for a fun night of chili and pumpkins. While this is such a busy time for our ornament company, we love having family traditions to look forward to!
