I’m a little late with decorating the house for Halloween this year.  I always have grandiose plans to make the house festive, but school and life get in the way and next thing you know it is Halloween day, and I am just carving the pumpkin.

This year I’ve decided to create some Halloween pumpkin decorations that can carry me through the fall.  I saw a pumpkin craft on Bell Jar Vintage and I knew I needed to recreate the look somehow.  I had picked up a white craft pumpkin on end-of-season sale and (at first) decided to adorn it with baker’s twine like Dori did in her tutorial.  Buddy, my three-year-old was perched on a stool at the craft table ready to help me with the project.  As I held up different colors of baker’s twine to my pumpkin, he asked, “Why don’t you do the brown (garden) twine?”  I thought for a moment…realizing he might have a point.  “Without any baker’s twine?” I asked.  “How about you try both?  Maybe the blue one?”

Yeah, apparently my toddler has an eye for design.

I hot glued the brown twine onto the pumpkin, and then decided it could use a little blue baker’s twine to give it a sweet, vintage look.  After gluing the twine along the pumpkin, I wrapped it around the stem, securing it with hot glue.  Five minutes and less than three bucks later, I have a cute little fall decoration that I can leave up until Thanksgiving.  Score!

How have you been decorating for the fall?  I’d love to see some of your ideas!
