Tuesdays Tip. . .Don’t Toss Those Pumpkins

Hello my friends, I didn’t have a post ready for Tuesday’s Tour so I decided to give you a tip instead.

 

Thus, Tuesday’s Tip was born. lol!

 

This post may be a bit too late because I’m sure that many a pumpkin has met it’s demise.

 

But, if you still have some lurking out on your porch or in your yard this tip is for you.

 

Gold is a hot color this year, but then isn't it always nice for Christmas?  Turn those pumpkins into gilded fruit.

 

I had a few that were frozen so they had to be tossed, but what was left got a coat of metallic gold spray paint.

 

 

Trimmed boughs from my father in laws garden and golden pumpkins make for very inexpensive outdoor décor.

 

I will probably be adding a little something more to these urns, but for now the pumpkins make them festive.

 

 

My  rustic wheelbarrow got dressed up a little with a pumpkin and a gourd.

 

 

And as usual I had to throw in a birdhouse and a little rust.

 

How about you, have you ever used your pumpkins for Christmas décor?  I do it every year.

 

hugs,

Jann
