My DIY Bling Pumpkin

September 21, 2013 By Meegan 18 Comments

As you know by now, I enjoy going to thrift stores and finding items and turning them into treasures.  I haven’t always done this.  It has just been within the last 2 years that I have started this new hobby or obsession. (hehe)  I am excited to show you my latest thrift find DIY bling pumpkin. I have been out shopping, really just looking to see the Fall and Halloween decor.  I love the feeling of Fall and all the glitter and bling that now adorn the decorations.

I bought this lovely for 75 cents.

I like her chippy look and texture.  But, after seeing all the bling and glitter, I thought, “Why not fix this pumpkin up and add a little bling?”

I started off by painted her white, using a flat wall paint.

I have these beautiful rhinestone sticker strips from David Tutera.  They are in the wedding accessory aisle at Michaels.

You know how much I love blue, so instead of green, I thought a blue stem would be the perfect touch.  The sticker strips are really easy to use.  Cut the size you need, peel off the back and you are set.

Once I had my stem ready, I was ready to add the orange bling.  I cut strips of 2 and 3 wide for variety.

And Voila!  A DIY Bling Pumpkin is just minutes.

For pennies, I now have my own version of bling pumpkin.  What do you think??  Doesn’t she look great??

I am happy to share my DIY Bling Pumpkin with you.  I love reading your comments and try to respond to everyone.

    I’m reading this as I sip my pumpkin spiced coffee, so I’m really in the pumpkin mood! I love how you pimped your pumpkin. I’ve just now started going to thrift stores myself (besides donating). Seems we’ve been missing out on a lot! Thanks for sharing your beautiful pumpkin. And I didn’t even know about the bling stickers! Thanks for that info, as well!

    I love those bling sheets! I’ve used the long bling strips on my Christmas mantel, but I need to branch out and find more uses for them! These turned out so cute!
