Scrap Escape: Pumpkin Home Decor

Pumpkin Season Is Upon Us

Flying Unicorn welcomes Autumn and what better way to celebrate than pumpkins.

Included in each main Your Passion Your Art kit is always an "Off the page " project to alter and decorate. October's "Your Passion Your Art" had a Darice paper mache pumpkin.

I really had to sit down and contemplate this project and which direction I wanted to take it. But then I went shopping to a home decor store and the decision was made for me. They had some cool burlap pumpkins that I really liked. I decided to give it a whirl.

I attached the burlap using spray adhesive. I found it was easier to apply the burlap than with using gooey glue that could seep through the burlap holes. I did have to add some extra burlap at the stem and make it longer. The stem was small to begin with - and after I glued all the burlap to it, it disappeared - which is why I needed to make the stem longer.

I wrapped the pumpkin with jute to give the pumpkin it's shape back. After that, I decorated it with all my wonderful Prima goodies, some flowers, the new trim and some leave vines.

I added some new Prima leaves and flowers from the Victorian Xmas collection. And of course I had to add some raffia to give it a touch of country. Plus I have the biggest bag of raffia on the planet that I mail ordered -thought I was buying a small bag and ended with a crazy size. Gotta use that stuff up one project at a time.

yeah is this not crazy?

That gold lace trim is Prima's new Memory Hardware Rocquencourt Doily Lace - from Frank Garcia. Gorgeous. I need more.

When your flowers aren't the right color, just add some mist. That's what I did here. I sprayed them with Prima Color Bloom in Tangerine.
