Fall Decor: Glass Globe Pumpkins

Yes, those ARE Pumpkins made from glass ceiling light globes! It's a great way to #Recycle!

I've been making these for a few years now, and I have never seen them made by anyone else! I use vintage glass globes that I find in thrift shops and garage sales, and new globes that I pick up cheaply at the hardware store. (Though the new ones aren't as detailed or charming as the old ones, they still work as 'filler' pumpkins in an arrangement!) The simple addition of a stem (real or faux) is all it takes to create a harvest of Glass Globe Pumpkins!

On the HOMEWARDfound blog, I am sharing a 'Fast, Cheap & Easy' (TM) tutorial for creating these... please visit!

    Thank you so much, Becky! I have this penchant for never using things the way they were intended to be used :0)

    I have a couple of these globes I bought at thrift stores, didn't know what to do with the, but liked the texture. Hmmm, great idea. :)

    You're welcome Debi. I too like looking at things differently. Sometimes the unintended use is better than the original. I think that applies here.
