A Junky Pumpkin
12 September
Today is one of my favorite days of the month!
It's Thrifty Chicks Challenge Day! If you're new here the Thrifty Chicks are a group of blogging friends and we get together once a month for a challenge to upcycle something old into something fun and new!
This month's challenge was to make something with old hardware!
Here is what I started with!
Don't forget to check out the other ladies' posts at the end of mine!
I'm really into fall decorating right at the moment so I wanted to make something fall inspired.
I found another wooden plaque in my garage hoard and I had this coffee can full of nuts, bolts, screws, and miscellaneous parts and pieces.
I chose the bits and bobs that I wanted to use and laid it all out on the wood plaque kind of like a little puzzle and then I glued it down.
Once it was all dried I spray painted the whole piece orange.
To finish it off I used some of this old... hardware cloth for lack of a better word. It was inside an old lamp and I saved it for something great...
... like junky pumpkin leaves!
It was very easy to cut, I used regular scissors! Then I painted them green and attached them to the junky pumpkin with wire.
What do you think?? I wasn't sure how this was going to look but paint sure brought it all together!
