So, I admit it. I have a slight tendency to collect decorations. Birthday party, Pumpkin party, Christmas, you name it. I store them nice though, OK? Unfortunately, because I hang on to things so long, they start to deteriorate after a while. So then I try to breathe new life into stuff that falls apart, because I’m cheap and yes, I am a bit of a hoarder when it comes to decorations. I had to give CPR to one of our fake pumpkins over the weekend. The paint was peeling right off the poor thing, so I decided to wrap it in cloth and give it some more time to be hoarded. I’m so nice, aren’t I? Here’s a quick little BEFORE and AFTER:
Supplies: fake pumpkin, fabric, scissors, glue gun, twine. To Do: Glue the fabric onto the pumpkin, pleating it in intervals. Tie the loose ends at the top with some twine. And then you have this:
Also note the paper pumpkins sitting on the shelf below the new and improved cloth pumpkin. I made those last year. Wonder how long they’ll last? Hehehe
