DIY Halloween Pumpkin Jack-o-lantern Home Decor - Buttons Galore

Halloween Pumpkin Home Decor - Featuring Buttons Galore's Pearlz

It's almost time to decorate the home with Halloween fun. Why not create something new to freshen up your holiday collection?

My piece today is a wooden jack-o-lantern decor piece adorned with Half Pearlz and 3D button embellishments from Buttons Galore and More.

What are Half Pearlz? They are a collection of coordinating iridescent flat backed pearls. The flat back makes them easy to glue on projects. Buttons Galore has a wonderful assortment of colorful Half Pearlz for various occasions and seasons. You can find all the Half Pearlz here.

Today I am showcasing Buttons Galore and More - Pearlz - Wicked Fun HPZ214- richly colored oranges, purples, lavenders and iridescent black. Perfect for adding a touch of Halloween spirit to your projects.

I painted the jack-o-lantern wood figure and twisted green wire to create vine tendrils. After the paint is dry, I'll wrap the vines around the wood stem to secure in place.

The Buttons Galore Half Pearlz are super easy to glue to surfaces however when I'm creating home decor, I prefer to adhere embellishments with a clear matte gel medium like The Crafter's Workshop - Gel Medium - Matte . It's easy to use and is a permanent bonding medium - unlike hot glue which loses it's bond over time.

The project has a few other dimensional elements from Buttons Galore. In addition to the Half Pearlz, I have added some 3D Buttons from Button Value Pack - Halloween VP316.

The wood pumpkin jack-o-lantern is from Foundations decor.
