I ran across this pumpkin in Pier 1. I thought it was so unique. I really wanted it until I looked at the price tag ouch!! they wanted $79 for it. Even now on sale it is still $39. Not in my budget even though it would be a classic decoration for years to come. So why am I posting about something I wouldn't buy? Well on one of my shopping trips to Hobby Lobby I saw this wire pumpkin candle holder and Bingo! the light went off. If I got this I could fill it with orange colored Christmas balls. Hummm!
I went to check out the ornaments and half way up the wall (where you have to have the ladder!) were some orange colored ornaments. Was there someone to help? "NO" so I only bought the wire pumpkin, it was half off making it $11.00. Thought I would get the ornaments at another time. Well I was there another time and still the prospect of finding someone to help was going to take to long. Then this weekend I was out estate saleing and my journey happen to take me right by Garden Ridge. I found a painting that I love for my dinning room and they had a box of orange ornaments for $4.99.
I couldn't wait to get home and put it all together. Take a look and tell me what you think about my version!!!!! I love it and my biggest critics (my children) all seem to approve!!!

I love the decoratings at Pier 1, but try to copy them a lot since my pocketbook doesn't always like their prices. You did a great job on your pumpkin. I bet you paid less for your ornaments than you would have at Hobby Lobby anyway. Thanks for sharing this idea to make our own pumpkin decoration!
