Here’s an easy, inexpensive way to add style to store-bought pumpkin pails. Paint the eyes, nose and mouth with glue, glitter them a ghoulish hue, and replace the handle with ribbon. How spooktacular is that?
Is there anything you can’t do well? These look like so much fun for kids and easy to do since the eyes and mouth are large, easy to glitter inside the lines. Fun and have a wonderful Halloween!
The Target dollar bin is the BEST for cheap seasonal goods that you can dress up! I’ve gotten the coolest rolls of wrapping paper that I use for drawer liner and cute stationary, too. Love the pumpkins!
Adorable! What cute party favors those would make at a little Halloween party. We have a big neighborhood party each year….so next year I’m going to take all your great ideas and volunteer to decorate!!!
SO cute!! What a great, and simple idea!
One Halloween (before they sold black pumpkins at Michaels) I sprayed three graduated sized to stack on top of each other, I used lino knives to carve B 0 0 and E E K. (one letter on each pumpkin) They have held up perfectly and I use them every year on my Family Room mantle. Love things I can store and use again!
You are simply magic! Absolutely magic! I never ever would have thought that a plastic pail could be so much fun. Love! Absolutely adored seeing you two at the Hearst party. xoxo!
I agree with Laura that the dollar Target bins are my first stop in the store. Why don’t you do a whole holiday segment with just those bin items. Love it.
So sad I missed you at High Point! Hope to meet you both in person one of these days! And if you’re ever coming to Seattle, be sure to let me know… antique/flea market tour? xo
oh my goodness… this is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen! Totally would not ever think of trying to make plastic into cuteness… but leave it to you! SO smart and fun and creative! The colors are darling… I think that’s what I like best.. I can see a grosgrain polka dot ribbon for the handle.. oh the possibilities are endless now that you’ve started this grand idea!
