As you enter into this blog, you will find all sorts of DIY's from home décor to papercrafting...all created by me...a sweet & sassy woman, saved by Grace. I am always challenging my world of handmade possibilities & I am always seeking the crafty life! I hope you find lots of inspiration here!
In all honesty, I needed a quick, cute, rustic type piece of art for this project, as I am knee deep in creating designs for upcoming Christmas Craft bazaars. BUT, I still wanted something that could showcase the gorgeous Reneabouquets product. I started with hand drawing my own pattern for a long shaped pumpkin, sewed the perimeter with my sewing machine...now, normally, here is where you would turn the pumpkin inside out to hide the seams you've just sewn. I didn't want to do that. I thought it would be cuter to let the seams show and add to the rustic appeal. and...its quicker. LOL. Then you simply stuff the pumpkin, added twine to give my pumpkin some sections, add a stem from a tree branch...either from your backyard, or Dollar Tree has put out bags of all types of tree stems from different types of trees in varying widths...and those were the stems for me! Once the pumpkin is ready, its time to decorate! The pumpkin ends up measuring about 5 inches tall and abut 12 inches long. Here are the photos! I will also have a start to finish You Tube video of the process down below and links to all the product I used from Reneabouquets.com, so you can make your very own pumpkin if you wish! Happy Crafting!

I realize that by now, all the Christmas Decor has hit the stores, and yes...I'm already beginning projects for Christmas Bazaars, but my heart still wanted to create a design team project that captures calmer tones of the popular Fall colors of grays, ivory and add in some beautiful tones of aquas. I also wanted a relatively easy DIY project that looked like I spent a lot of time creating it.! :).
I started with a home decor frame/sign that I purchased from Hobby Lobby in the Fall Decor section this year. It was perfect as it already had the farmhouse look with wood grain and stained a nice shade of grey. It did have a hefty price tag of about $3(on sale). LOL. I love to pack a lot of product in a small space! It doesn't take too much time, allows me to layer...alot... and in the end, create a memorable statement piece when it is finished. I used a lot of Reneabouquets product including some Beautiful Board pieces for fall, some beautiful mulberry flowers in seafoam and my favorite Chiffon flowers with Rhinestone and Pearl centers.
Pictures are below with a full start to finish process video from my You Tube channel, as well as links to all the wonderful product I used from Reneabouquets.com! Thanks for stopping by!
