Dollar store pumpkins are great for decorating and adding some style to your Thanksgiving/Fall decor.
I really love the look of old book pages, because it gives a vintage/rustic look. I thought the gold polka dots added a nice touch as well.
Here is how the pumpkin started.
I really love the look of old book pages, because it gives a vintage/rustic look. I thought the gold polka dots added a nice touch as well.
Here is how the pumpkin started.
First I painted the stem with gold acrylic paint. Then I took an old book I got from a thrift store, tore several pages from it and and cut it into several strips. Make sure your book is tall enough to cover the height of the pumpkin.
I applied glue to the pumpkin and adhered one layer of strips of the book pages to the pumpkin in a vertical pattern.
Then I added another layer to fill in the gaps from the first layer.
Once the entire pumpkin was covered in book pages I applied Mod Podge over the book pages to help protect and seal them in place better.
