I have jumped on the white pumpkin bandwagon!
I’m sure you all have seen these at Wal-Mart.
They are terrible looking faux pumpkins but I bought the box of them for $5 and the big pumpkin for $5!
Thanks to the weather clearing, I was able to get outside and spray paint the cheap right off with Rustoleum Heirloom White.
A paint project is just not complete without a visit from our dear friend Ralph. Just paint on and wipe away to warm up any paint!
‘Tis the season for TWINE!
I put a small dab of hot glue at the top of each line and wrapped the twine around to the other side. Cut it to size and added another dab of hot glue.
What to do with the stem you ask? I wrapped twine all the way around to the tip, placing a small dab of hot glue as I went.
At the tip I put a heavier dab of hot glue and coiled the twine until it was completely covered. I then cut down the end of the twine so it was flush with the coil.
So cute but she needs some friends…
I followed the same steps for these little guys but I used the 2ply Jute Twine for the babies and alternated between the two twines with the medium pumpkins!
Before cheap faux pumpkins…
After white pumpkin Chicness!

Sooo adorable! What is the Ralph stuff you put on the pumpkins?
Absolutely adorable! I am on a mission for white pumpkins as well!!!!
Love, love, love them!!!! I have been trying to get around to making a white pumpkin project. Thanks for another idea! 🙂
Wao, what a transformation!
I'm kid free this weekend! Just might have to make these!
Beautiful … love the twine on them.
Another great idea! You are full of it! 😉 Just kidding. Thanks for the quick lesson- I'm sure many more white pumpkins will be popping up!
DAH!! I'm having a moving sale today and I put out some plastic pumpkins. I'm going to have to run out and bring them back inside now that I know how cute they can be!! You are so talented!!

Oh Shoot! I must be the only person in Blogland who doesn't own a glue gun. I may just have to get one, my daughter would be over the moon!

Super cute idea! Instead of twine you could also use the smokey finish on them. =)
Fabulous! Pumpkins have never been so "dressed up" so well. LOve the twine.
