We're hosting Thanksgiving again this year and I'm so excited!
I love entertaining.
I posted earlier about my blue pumpkins and I showed you how I made these.
I've been drooling over these velvet pumpkins . The originals are pricey, 3 for $84.
I tucked this picture away with plans on making some at a later date.
Then I found this great tutorial at the Lemonista and decided to make some for my
Thanksgiving table.
Mine are just a little different. I couldn't find enough real pumpkin stems so I made my own out of clay. I can't find my stem pictures, but it's very simple. I shaped the stems out of air dry Crayola clay and spray painted the stems gold. I notched all the tops of my stems to hold place cards.

Another change I made was to add a couple stitches from the center top of my pumpkins through the center of the bottom. I like a flatter squished down pumpkin.
Just hot glue the clay stems on and that's it.
The small pumpkins will be used on my Thanksgiving table to hold place cards for each guest.
The extras will be used for the center piece.
I made 18 pumpkins for around $25.
If I had purchased these that would have cost me around $500.
I mixed in some real pumpkin stems and they received the same coat of spray paint.
I'll mix in some silver and gold foliage for some pumpkin glam. I'm not sure if we will be eating inside or out this year?
We'll have to see if the weather cooperates.

Are you hosting Thanksgiving?
Are you whipping up any DIY creations for your tablescape this year?
I would love to see them!
Thanks for checking it out.
