Cute, huh? But the price just didn't seem as cute. So, I set out to recreate them in my 'own way'. I personally think mine turned out even better!
 |
| I LOVE spray paint! These guys were a very mis-matched group of misfits when I purchased them at Hobby Lobby! The one on the far left was clear glass, second to the left was silver and the two on the right were wood! I spray painted them all glossy black and then added a little black glitter to the wooden ones. |
 |
| My Punkins.... also purchased at HB |
 |
| This sad guy on the right needed some glitz and glitter to 'fit in with the right crowd' so I gave him some sparkle! |
 |
| with some spray adhesive and pretty orange glitter |
 |
| and added some gold glitter glue to his stem |
 |
| I picked the WORST time to glitter! It was super windy so now there is a fine coating of orange glitter all over our back patio... oops! :) |
 |
| Now this guy fits in! I did spray some clear coat spray paint over the top so the orange glitter wouldn't shed so much.... we'll see if it works!
The assembly:
|
 |
| Not sure why I didn't take a pic - but I cut two scalloped edge circles out of black felt and hot glued them together (the one on top is a bit smaller). Next I hot glued this fringed crepe paper around the base twice. |
 |
| to get this! (See the scalloped circles? NOPE - not even close to perfect...) |
 |
| then I added some of that awesome fringe to the base of one of the punkins |
 |
| to get this! |
 |
| then I glued it all together! Candlestick to scalloped circles to fringed punkin! |
 |
| for another of the candlesticks I added a ruffled flower and for a bit more stability I also glued a square of black felt. What it ended up looking like: |
 |
| This guy also got a ruffle base as well as a jaunty little burlap flower 'hat'! |
 |
| and my glittery guy? He got some fringe and worked perfectly on the shorter candlestick |
