Hi All! It is still warm here, but it is finally starting to feel like fall is near. So today I am going to share a thrift store upcycled mini pumpkin. I had picked this small tin bowl up at the thrift store a while back, and thought that it would make a cute mini pumpkin.

I’m sorry I forgot my before photo, but for this project I started out washing the little tin bowl in hot soapy water. Then I gave it three coats of Waverly Pumpkin chalk paint, letting each coat dry thoroughly.

Once dry I splattered my thrift store upcycled mini pumpkin with burnt sienna.

Next, I tried to glue on a pull knob with my jewelry glue 6000 letting that dry overnight.

Then I made my wire tendril by wrapping the wire around the end of a paint brush to form the coil. When I tried to add my wire tendril the knob popped off.

So, I drilled a small hole in the top of my mini pumpkin. Next, I wrapped the coiled tendril around the pull knob.

Using a small screw that I found I added a few washers to take up the loose space then flipped the pumpkin over and screwed the knob down firmly.

Flipping the upcycled mini pumpkin over I then hot glued a leaf on the top.
