Gold Leaf Pumpkin

Can we all talk about the hours that we spend on Pinterest?

OK, maybe you're not a junkie like I am, but honestly,

 it's a place where I always leave with new ideas and inspiration.

I haven't moved on to Christmas quite yet;

 I'm still browsing ideas for Late Fall and Thanksgiving.

I like to use decor in November that can work for Thanksgiving

and that will also transition into Christmas.

Anyway, I've been admiring a Pin from Midwest Living Magazine

that used a white pumpkin with gold spray painted leaves randomly glued on.

I had some faux leaves left over from my Painted Leaf Fall Wreath,

so I thought I'd give it a try.

To be honest, I like the Midwest Living Pumpkin better than the one that I've put together, but in an effort to be real here, I want to share their version in this post too. They used a larger white pumpkin and a more narrow leaf... but I just used what I had on hand. 

(really cute, and I love the little gold sprayed boo pumpkin partner)

I didn't use spray paint, but some metallic craft paint with some gold glitter.

Then I just used hot glue to attach the leaves.

My theory...

use what you have and see what you can come up with!

Have a wonderful "rest of the weekend"!
