Glitter Pumpkins

Happy first day of fall everyone! Last Sunday as we walked up to our local Whole Foods I gasped and yelled “Oooooo!! Gourds!!” much to bystanders amusement. It was the first day their glorious selection of pumpkins was on display and I was obviously elated but forced myself to wait until it was officially fall to buy a few ( I am a leeeeeeeeetle bit OCD). I am loving the idea of glittering a few like the above photo. Don’t they look amazing?

    I love these glittery pumpkins! I have some fake ones that I glittered 2 years ago and I can’t wait to get them out!

    So…my mom would LOVE these. She’s a glitter freak and also a Halloween freak. I just got off the phone with her and she told me all about the stuff she has already done up for Halloween this year. She goes all out. Anyway, these are cute and I love that you love the season so much too!

    They’re fantastic. I think this is the way I’d decorate pumpkins…or does it just look deceptively easy? Regardless, I might give it a try once I have a place to proudly display my pumpkins. Happy first day of Autumn, Em!

      Brandi – I think it probably is as easy as it looks (paint with glue, sprinkle with glitter), but I imagine one needs a LOT of glitter!

    They are wonderful. We’ve just realised that my niece and nephew are coming up on Halloween so we’re going to go pumpkin tastic… Maybe I’ll try with the glitter…

    Ha! We’re one in the same. Luckily my boyfriend’s got the same reaction to apple cider, so he can’t make fun of me and my squash :)

    OBSESSED. Could I still do this post-Halloween? Maybe for Thanksgiving…
