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 Am Ready For Halloween!! Yay!!

October 23, 2012 By Meegan 9 Comments

Are you ready for Halloween?? I Am Ready For Halloween!!  Yay!!  I am always trying to find ways to be a “fun” grandma.  Sometimes I am successful, other times, I am not. I keep trying anyway, though.

I think this year is going to be a BIG hit. All because I found this free printable a few days ago and I can not resist making these cute gifts for the grand babies!!

 I got out my ribbon, scissors, gift bags, and my spiders.  Oooh! I love having fun with these free printables, especially for the grand babies!

I filled each bag with kisses and a few spiders.  I have a feeling the boys are going to LOVE this!!  I am loving how the spiders kind of “peek” through the kisses!

 Cute, cute, cute!!

Here they are!!  ALL 18 of them.  We will see the grand babies next week  Yay!!

Did I eat kisses while I made these cute goodie bags??  Why, yes I did!  And I must say it was totally worth it!!

I also used the spider for my Halloween porch sign.

What do you like to handout for Halloween??  One year I gave SO much candy to the grand kids, that they were RUNNING around like crazy.  I kinda got in trouble from my kids.  Not REAL trouble-but the kids were SO crazy on a sugar high, it was’t real fun.  Oops!  Needless to say, I have changed my ways, well-sometimes anyway. (hehehe)

 I Am Ready For Halloween.  Yay!!

Thanks for reading my blog today.  I hope you come back again soon.

Make it a wonderful Wednesday.
