Remember my Peppermint Wreath from Christmas? That I made from a cheese box?
Well…I happened to have another cheese box in the attic and decided to paint it up like a pumpkin!
First I let my little pumpkin wipe it down with a wet paper towel to get all the dust off.
Then I gave it a little paint job. How do you like my pizza-box-spray-paint-booth? It took about 2.5 coats.
I drew my best scary jack-o-lantern face with a Sharpie.
Then I got my little pumpkin to color in the shapes.
But it still needed something…
So I started adding burlap.
And ribbon. Lots of ribbon. I stapled it to the side with my staple gun alternating the loops.
I added floral wire to the inside to make a hanger. Hint: Use two staples on each side.
And here she is!
What do you think? It kind of reminds me of a lion. It didn’t turn out exactly like I wanted but its growing on me.
