Materials needed to create your own Simple and Classy Pumpkin Update
White pumpkin {real or fake}
Paint and paintbrush
Martha Stewart Metallic Trim
Hot glue gun
Scissors
Embellishment of your choosing! {I picked some striped orange and black ribbon but you do you.}
I started by repainting the pumpkin stem. It got a little battered and bruised last Halloween and definitely needed a little tender loving care.
Then, armed with my hot glue gun and a pair of scissors, I got to work. To create this look, I used the new Martha Stewart Metallic Trim. Simply hot glue a crease on your pumpkin and begin adhering the trim. Continue this process all the way around the pumpkin. Try your best to keep it even. I did not use the trim in all of the pumpkin creases because it seemed too much.
Finally I add this cute black and orange bow!
How simple is that? The great part? You can easily remove the trim next year and make a whole new look! I love being able to recycle things! And since I’m all about the sparkly this year, this metallic trim totally works! It adds a nice touch.
Do you hoard foam pumpkins like I do or do you use fresh pumpkins each year? What fun ways do you decorate pumpkins?
