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!

Oh my, I love that "spray paint the cheap right off!" Tell me about Ralph, is that glaze you're using? Can you share the details?
Oh how rustically adorable! White pumpkins AND twine! Baaaa… I'm a babbling idiot. I want to go shopping. BAD.
Good ideas make me caffine jittery, kwim?
Thanks for posting this at the party!

I am so going to Wal-mart today! How cute! I found your blog today and I'm becoming a follower TODAY!!!
That is an amazing transformation. It is one of those ideas that I wish I had had. Thanks for sharing!
Great idea!
Such a great transformation!!
My Wal-mart only had beaded ones and it doesn't really have the same effect. Oh well. . . I still love this idea and will try again.
Do you sale your stuff?? I have seen a gazillion things that I am interested in but didn't see where it mentioned that you sold it. Thanks.
I did this with my cheap pumpkins too! I love them now- they looked so cheap before and I would put them in places where they were not seen as well- camouflage to try to get around the cheap look. NO more!
So cute! I have white pumpkins from Michaels, but I may have to get some of these & do your fab treatment.
GREAT idea!
Oh my gosh- these are my favorite fall decor I have seen all season! Thanks for the idea!!!
I totally did this, except I didn't use the twine and your's look SO much better. I ended up respraying mine with a copper metalic. Now I want to go back and paint them "white" again. 🙂 Thanks for all the inspiration! Tammy
Great idea!! I love me some white pumpkins this year!
Love it! Unique and different!
Clever:)
