Hi all! Are you ready for Fall? Have you been busy working on your fall projects? I know I have every spare moment I have. My latest fall project is this easy pickle jar pumpkin which of course can be made out of a mason jar. But I have so many other jars that I’ve saved that I need to use up.

The Pickle Jar Pumpkin Is Born

Start off by removing the label, any sticky Gunk, and give the jar of good soapy bath.

Two coats of orange chalk paint, letting each coat dry thoroughly.

Next added little smudges of antique white, and green here in there on the jar.

Once dry I use sandpaper to distress the pickle jar.

I thought that the pickle jar pumpkin still needed a little something else, so I decided to Splatter it with some black paint.

I learned this little trick years ago in a tole painting class. Sometimes a little splattering really makes a big difference in a project.

The splattering did the trick, I’m happy with the jar.

Now to get started on the pickle jar lid. I wanted the lid to be rusty so I use the hydrogen peroxide, and salt technique to rust the pickle jar lid.

It took several applications of the solution to get the desired effect I was seeking,

The stem was made from a wooden spool that I painted brown,

and wrapped with some of the green plaid fabric gluing it down with the Mod Podge.

It’s time to cut out some leaves.

I cut two Leaf shapes out of some green plaid Fabric, and then two more from some burlap ribbon.

Using E 6000 adhesive to glue the leaves, and spool down on the center of the rusty lid jar.

    Linda this is a gem. I love how you have given character to the jar first with the splatter and then with the rustification of the lid jar. All in all it is a wonderful and unique pumpkin.

      Thank you Mary! Some things just need a little something extra, and I have found splattering usually works. I love rustic things and the rust just makes the piece.

    I really love your pickle jar pumpkin Linda. Those tooth brush splatters and the spool stem on the rusty lid all look so good together. It’s not just an orange painted jar, it’s so much more now.

      Thank you Michelle! Splattering is an easy technique I learned in a tole painting class years ago, and it seems to help with a piece needs a little something else.

    That is really cute Linda! I love everything about it…from the black spatters, to the way you aged the lid, to the leaves, and the stem. I have a jar I need to do that with. You’ve inspired me to get going on it.

    So cute Linda, I adore the rusty lid – I have some battery tealights so might try this out and put them in and see if I can get it to glow- thanks for the inspiration 🙂

      Thank you Sarah! If you were to add a little orange paint to mod podge just enough to give it some color. Then paint it with that you would be able to get a glow.
