I’ve never shied away from adding a little bling to my fashion or home accessories. However, little goes a long way in home interiors. But anything goes when it comes to holiday decorating!
You know, once you carve a pumpkin, it lasts only a few days. If you want a head start on your Halloween decorating, try a few new “no carving” ideas for upscale jack-o-lanterns. Choose pumpkins in a variety of sizes and shapes. I like ones with interesting stems too.
The easiest idea is to add self-stick jewels or beads. You can put them in a random or specific pattern. Use your imagination.
Or start with black spray paint. High gloss will reflect light more than a matte finish.
After it dries, bling it up with more rhinestones.
Of course white pumpkins are even more versatile. I love this stem!
This one takes a little more time, but the results are fabulous. I found a lace blouse in the women’s section at Goodwill and cut off the sleeves and buttons.
Set the pumpkin in a bowl (to keep it from rolling around the table. Apply Mod Podge with a paint brush and drape on the lace. Pat the lace in place, cutting sections to fit. I started at the bottom so I could gather the excess at the stem. Or you can cut strips of lace and work from top to bottom.
Send me photos of you jeweled pumpkins. I would love to see your ideas!
