Add some gold and brown spray paint, a few fall leaves and they turn into this:
Which, to me looked a little disturbing. However, they actually came with tiny lights inside (I did not have batteries to test them out), so you could use them as a night light or line your walk for Halloween. I just couldn't stand seeing the creepy face they made at me when I went in my powder room... so I turned them around.

I like the top one - he's so cute! The bottom one is a bit creepy, but it IS Halloween, after all! Nice job! :)
ReplyDeleteTotally loving this! I bought two of these exact same pumpkins tonight as a matter of fact! :) You're so creative!!

These are too cute! I couldn't tell they were those kinds of pumpkins! What an improvement! I agree. They do look better turned backwards!
ReplyDeleteTo bad they weren't pumpkins you already had...They would have qualified for the Recycled Halloween Craft Challenge I am hosting on henthornehandmade.blogspot.com
I love it! Either way! It's sorta cute they kept creeping you out tho!!
ReplyDeleteI'm visiting from It's so Very Cheri! :)
great thinking! i just posted that i do this too-i have pumpkins that have halloween on one side, and are plain (perfect for fall) on the other! love whatever color you painted them!
ReplyDeleteHahaha. The face side is a little disturbing, but turned around they're gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI'd love for you to come and join my Fall link party next Friday (Sept. 24) and stop by because I'll be posting fall projects all week and featuring others too!
