These coffee filter pumpkins are easy and so pretty!
Remember the coffee filter papers we watercolored for coffee filter flowers and a coffee filter wreath? Well I had some left over and thought I’d try using them to decoupage a pumpkin I had sitting around!
Remember how easy it is to watercolor natural coffee filter papers...
I took the stem off my Styrofoam based pumpkin (from Walmart) and used Mod Podge and decoupaged the pumpkin with the watercolored coffee filters onto the Pumpkin…
Then I added some twine, securing it with straight pins…
And hot glued my stem back on! A decoupaged pumpkin is about as easy as it gets and using those water colored coffee filter papers made me so happy!
Here’s a video that shows you exactly how…
Sending love my sweet friends xo

A+++++++++ Something even I could do—I think.

September 11, 2013 at 1:26 pmRobin, I love this! I just need to take a trip to Walmart to see if they have any fake pumpkins. If not, it will be off to Michael’s or Joann’s. Thanks so much for the idea!

September 11, 2013 at 8:45 pmI have been browsing online greater than 3 hours nowadays, but I never found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all site owners and bloggers made excellent content as you probably did, the net can be much more helpful than ever before.
