Thrifty Pumpkin Find and Makeover

I found this pumpkin at Savers the other day.  I was a little wobbly, but I figured I could fix that.  Check out the makeover this plan pumpkin got.

Go see what your thrift store has.  It’s like a treasure hunt!

I added a little paint and glitter to my 7 dollar, 2 foot tall pumpkin.  It looked better already.

I had been want to make something like this, that I saw over at TheCornerHouseBlog.com

Very fun idea.  I love this.  I wanted to add a countdown and I loved the “It’s all about the CANDY!”  I couldn’t fit it all on my pumpkin.  So, I just went with the “candy phrase.”

Thanks for the inspiration Corner House Blog!

I cut some vinyl on my Cricut and this is what I made :)

I thought about winding ribbon through all those holes.  I decided my kids would love to see it lit-up at night and went with some Christmas lights instead.  I am pretty sure that is why they are there anyway. :)

TAA DAA!

I love Halloween!

    Dang, one more store we don’t have here in boring old California :) Seriously though, super cute! And the lights were definitely the way to go!
