White Pumpkins and Pine Cones

September 21, 2011 By

Hey!  I’m back with more fall fun!  Whit and I made a trip to Hobby Lobby last week and I was on a mission for a fall arrangement of some sort.

I picked up a few items on sale: a bag of pine cones/acorns for $3, a few fake pumpkins

a glass vase that I scored for $3 because it had a chip at the top

and an unfinished wood candle stick and base.

I spray painted the candle stick, base and pumpkins with a cream spray paint and attached the candle stick to the vase with glue (click HERE for a tutorial on the candle sticks).

I dropped two pumpkins, pine cones and a few falls stems, that I purchased at Michael’s, and that was it!

 

I spent $10 on this arrangement and it only took about 10 minutes to put together!  The hardest part was deciding where to show it off!   That’s my kind of project!  Happy Fall!!!

~Ashley

    Very elegant – I love them! I like the white “boo” blocks too – did you make those? My little brain is thinking that I could copy them also using some wood and cutting letters with my silhouette …

    Thanks for the beautiful inspiration!
