pumpkin makeover

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

Oh, for the love of Fall decorating.

All crafty pumpkins are not created equal. But most of them tend to have some drab little stems and leaves at the top. I mean, I get it. It’s kinda realistic and all. It’s just that … I just want my pumpkins looking a little more peppy. That’s all. So this is what I did. Super simple. Super easy. And super quick.

For these particular pumpkins (that I’ve had for years … probably got them at Michael’s or some craft store), they happen to be made of a very lightweight foam or something. So I literally pulled out the original stem and stuck in my new (happier) sprigs of faux green berry-like foliage.

No matter what material your pumpkin is made of, the point is this: If there’s something you don’t really love about it, just change it. No need to go and buy new stuff, you know?

I hope you know this post isn’t just about my silly little pumpkin makeover. I hope you are thinking about other ways you can be creative with changing  just a little something here or a little something there. We are creative creatures. Add your personal touches to your stuff.
