As I was pulling out the rest of my Halloween decorations, I came across the white pumpkins I used on my Raven Inspired Front Porch.  Seriously, I have pumpkins coming out of my ears!!  I decided they needed an update.  Nothing flashy, just a Simple and Classy Pumpkin Update!

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?
