Fall/Halloween Reversible Pumpkin Décor

You will need:

*Pumpkin cut-out-mine came from Michaels

*Halloween fabric-Wal-Mart

*Fall scrapbook paper

*Mod podge

*Jute twine

*Fall/Halloween picks

*Sanding block

When I seen these cute little pumpkin cut-outs at Michaels the other day, I knew I had to have a few of them. It didn’t take me long to figure out what I was gonna do with this one.

The first I did was take my pumpkin and trace one side on the fabric and one side on the scrapbook paper. I then cut them out and used mod podge to adhere them to each side of the pumpkin. Don’t panic if you have some excess fabric/paper hanging over the edge. Take your sanding block around the edges and it will take care of the excess for you.

Now to finish off the stem, I simply took some jute twine and wrapped the stem.

Also when I was at Michaels I found this super cute Halloween pick and knew I had to have it too! I cut a few pieces off and glued them on right at the bottom of the stem.

I did the same thing on the other side. I used a few pieces of some floral picks I had laying around and tada!

Once your ready to change up your decor for Halloween all you have to do is flip it around! Doesn’t get much easier than that now does it?

No Sew Candy Corn Pillow Décor

Supplies needed:

*Waverly fat quarter fabric (Wal-Mart)

*Poly-fil

*Hot glue gun-click here for my affiliate link to the cordless glue gun I use

*Scisscors

*Raffia and ribbon-optional

The first thing I did was round up some yellow, orange, and white fabric. I found these fat quarters of fabric at Wal-Mart but you can find them anywhere that sells fabric or craft supplies. I had the poly-fil on hand but you can also find this at any store that sells craft/sewing items.

Next I took my yellow fabric and folded it in half. I then took my scissors and cut the base shape that I wanted for my candy corn. You want to make sure you have some good, sharp fabric scissors for this project.

Next, I did the same thing with my orange fabric.

Once you have your fabric cut to the correct shape you want to cut through the bottom fold as shown above. Repeat the same step with the white fabric. Don’t forget to cut through the bottom fold on the white fabric as well.

Now, it’s time to start gluing the candy corn together! Yep that’s right…it’s a no sew pillow! I first started by gluing together the sides of the yellow fabric, leaving the top open for stuffing. Next, I lined up the orange fabric to where it needed to be and then folded the bottom edge under for a more finished look and glued that down. I repeated the same step to the back of the candy corn. Remember to leave the middle seams of the front and back of the candy corn open for stuffing.

Next, you will do the same thing to the white fabric. Don’t panic if your fabric doesn’t line up perfectly as you can go back and trim it once you get your candy corn glued together. Make sure and leave the top of the white fabric open so you can put the stuffing in.

Now it’s time to stuff the candy corn. I like to use a wooden stick or dowel to help push the stuffing through. Once you have it as full as you would like then you an glue shut the top of the candy corn.

Once I had my candy corn all glued together I went around and trimmed up where I needed to and round the top a bit. It needed a little something more so I tied some raffia around the middle.

It looks adorable just like this but of course I had to add a bow to mine! I just used a few different patterns of ribbon and crisscrossed my pieces to make a quick and easy bow.

DIY Halloween Pumpkin Man

Supplies:
*Candle Holder-Dollar Tree
*Jack-o-lantern Pumpkin-Dollar Tree
*Rubber Spiders-Dollar Tree
*Witch Hat-Wal-Mart
*Black Paint-I used Apple Barrel from Wal-mart
*Glitter-
*Ribbon and Raffia for bow
*Paint Brush
*Hot Glue Gun

This project was so fun to make and I just love how it turned out. The first thing I did was use my black paint to paint my Dollar Tree candle holder black. I then sprinkled my glitter on quick before the paint started to dry. I had this glitter on hand and it happened to be glow in the dark so I thought what the heck that might look pretty cool…and it did! I got the glitter at Hobby Lobby last year so I’m sure you could still grab yourself some if you wanted.

Once the candle holder was try I then hot glued the pumpkin onto the top of the candle holder and then added the hat. I got this cute little witch hat at Wal-mart the other day and it just happen to go perfectly with this project.

Next, I made a quick bow using a few different styles of ribbon and raffia and then glued that on right under the pumpkin. The black ribbon with polka-dots came from Hobby Lobby and the skinnier purple and orange ribbon came from the Dollar Tree.

Next I added a couple rubber spiders that I had left over from another project to make it look a little more spooky.

Scrap Wood Halloween Gnome

Supplies:

*Scrap wood-I used a 2×4

*Halloween fabric remnant-Wal-Mart

*Wood bead

*Pom-pom-optional

*Raffia

*Apple Barrel Paint-Harvest Orange

*Hot Glue Gun

*Paint brush

I started off by painting by piece of wood with my orange paint. My piece of wood was in rough shape on one end so I made that the end that the hat would go on. I knew that end was going to be covered so I didn’t bother painting it all the way to that end.

Once my paint had dried I started gluing my raffia on for the beard. I cut my raffia in to 6-7 inch pieces.

It will look a little crazy until you get the hat on and get the beard trimmed but trust me it will be so cute in the end!

Next I took my fabric remnant that I got from Wal-Mart and glued one side to the back of my gnome and wrapped it tightly around the other side forming a cone shape. I did trim my fabric down just a bit so it with fit better on my board. I then took a few shorter pieces of raffia to tie on the end of the hat. I also chose to add a pom-pom on top of the raffia to dress the hat up a little more.

Next I painted my wood bead orange. I like to use a wooden skewer when painting my beads to make it a little easier but if you don’t have one no biggie you can just hold it between your fingers.

While my bead was drying I trimmed up my raffia beard and messed with it a bit to get it to lay how I wanted and then glued on my wood bead for the nose.
