Two friends joined me this past week to make fancy pumpkins to decorate the entrance table at church.
Since repainting the church interior a soft gray, our old seasonal decorations just don't look very nice, especially the bronzes and oranges we used to use for fall. We needed something that would stand out against the walls, and at the same time bring in the gray.
Off to Hob Lob we went. We chose several coordinating print fabrics, and
then we tore those into fairly wide strips. By brushing Mod Podge
directly on the pumpkins, and then burnishing down the fabric strips, we
covered the surfaces quickly. A final slap of Mod Podge all around, a
little touch of acrylic paint on the bare stems, and there we are.
A little rosette trim on a couple of the pumpkins made from leftover scraps.
Nestled in light green burlap on the narthex table at church, with a leaf wreath made of book pages hanging on the mirror.
