Don’t you just love Pottery Barn? But don’t love the prices? I know, me, too. A few weeks ago I shared my DIY Pottery Barn Knock-off Glitter Book Page Pumpkin. I made it before I started a blog, so I wasn’t ever able to share the tutorial.
Well, today is your lucky day! I have the tutorial for my Pottery Barn Knock-off Glitter Book Page Pumpkin for you today! Woo! I know you will enjoy this Fall craft as much as I have.
Isn’t she lovely?
Even though the temperature is still hot, I’ve Got The Monday Blues For DIY Fall Wreaths. With so many creative ideas, I know you will love them as much as I do.
I LOVE Summer. There is no doubt about that. I am little SAD to be decorating for Fall.
But, Fall is slowly coming to life in our area. And, it does feel nice to have cooler weather and the thought of the Holidays coming soon always makes me smile.
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.

Happy Wednesday, my friends!! Has the Fall weather started creeping in your area? It is turning Fall here slowly, but surely. The temperature is still in the 90’s during the day, but the evenings are cooling off enough to open the windows. It is cool enough that I decided to add a few Fall decorations around our home. One of them is a DIY Pine Cone and Feather Banner.
I had so much fun shopping for feathers to add to my banner. There are so many varieties and colors. I was looking for more of a natural feather rather than a Fall color like bright orange or red.
The components I needed for my DIY Pine Cone and Feather Banner were:
Jute
Feathers
Pine Cones
Feathers
Hot Glue
Scrapbook Paper
Stencils
Brown Sharpie Marker
There are a lot of pine trees around our complex, so the pine cones were easy to find. Using hot glue I was able to add each component to make my DIY Pine Cone and Feather Banner.
Using scrapbook paper, stencils and a brown sharpie I made my banner. I like the word “gather” for this time of year. Because as a family, we gather together often for Sunday dinners, Saturday soccer games, and we gather food to eat together.
I wish I knew what this little spiky balls are. I found them under a tree at church one day, scooped them up and knew they would be perfect for my Fall Decorating. Do you know what they are???
I love this scrapbook paper. It looks aged and worn with a little blue and green for variety. I was inspired by the Monday Blues to add blues and greens. It’s a look I like so much. Each separate piece adds to the look and feel of the banner.
I am really pleased with my DIY Pine Cone and Feather Banner. I love the natural elements for Fall.
So, what do you think? Are you going to make a banner of your own?? What would yours say?
Thanks for stopping by today. I am happy to have you here everyday. I love reading your comments and try to respond to everyone.
Make it a wonderful Wednesday!
