I recently had a ton of fun hitting up Michael’s and gathering some supplies and faux pumpkins to decorate. Today I am sharing and talking about these “Decorated Faux Pumpkins and Trick Your Pumpkin Contest.”

When I shopped for the faux pumpkins I didn’t have any ideas in mind for what I was going to do, I kind of picked up cute things that would possible work for these pumpkins and surprisingly what I picked out was all used.

Before we get to the fun pumpkins, you all need to know about this super fun #TrickYourPumpkin contest. Keep reading.

 Before the embellished fun!

How To: First I started with some cute crocheted circles found at Michaels and then I cut some round canvas fabric and lastly glued some large black buttons to the center. Now you have some owl eyes.

Next I cut some more canvas triangles and I made sure I cut them out on the fold. I then used some craft wire and shaped it into a triangle. I placed the wire inside the owl ears and hot glues around the edges. I also hot glued the ears down to the “Owl Pumpkin”

Nest I used some brown pipe cleaners and looped them into threes for little owl feet. I cut off the excess and hot glued them to the bottom of the pumpkin.

This pumpkin was super easy. I just took the cute lace and burlap ribbon from Michaels and wrapped and hot glued it down around the pumpkin. Then I cut pieces of the burlap, tore off some of the lace and folded pieces that were hot glued to the top of the pumpkin and around the stem. 

Then I embellished the last two pumpkin with cork letters, cheetah fabric, glittery twirly ribbon, buttons, and a fuzzy spider.

So much fun. Be sure to enter the #Trickyourpumpkin contest, good luck and have fun. It begins today.

Thanks for stopping in.
