I am joining some other talented ladies for a pumpkin diy blog hop this month that Terrie at decorate and more with Tip put together.. If your here you probably came from Liberty’s B4 and Afters blog. Wasn’t her decorated kitchen beautiful?
After much thought I decided to make a garland and took a trip to the dollar store. I found these packages of small pumpkin treat containers. I purchased two packages so I would have enough for a nice garland length.
First I took the handles off all of them.
I decided to use chalk paint, I use the Chalk Mountain chalk paint that covers nicely.
It took three coats of paint to cover that green neon.
I did paint the insides also because that green shows through trust me. I then added splashes of black around the edges and in areas to resemble enamelware.
I hot glued jute on to resemble the handles and to form the banner length.
This was such a fun challenge. These ladies below are all so talented I feel honored to be joining them. Next up is Tammy Patina and Paint
