Decorating with Faux Pumpkins & The Winner

By Manuela Williams

I did a little more fall decorating which really just consisted of pulling out pumpkins I already have.

All these pumpkins were done back in 2008/2009. Basically they’re all faux pumpkins and I either decoupaged them or used rub-on decals. Very easy to do!

I used tissue paper or napkins to decopauge my pumpkins.

This one was done using a rub-on decal. Much easier than stencilling or painting by hand (at least for me). I had a few that I did with crown rub-ons and fleur dis lis that I’m not putting out this year. So just look in the sticker/rub on aisle at your local crafts store and you’ll find lots of things you can use on your pumpkins!

    Congratulations to the winner . I just love that blog name!

    I also love your pumpkins. I can’t seem to find good faux ones. I know they SHOULD have good ones at our HL, but they really don’t. I would really like to do some like that for my house.

    Love the decorated pumpkins and how you have them displayed. Congrats to Rhonda on being the winner – I’ve known her for quite a number of years from a mutual yahoo groups list!

    As always, Manuela, Pretty!
    I can’t believe it’s pumpkin time already. I was just thinking today how the little bit of showers we’ve had recently and the due in the early mornings has made the grass green up a tad bit… and now it is FALL!

    Your pumpkins are truly beautiful and somewhat whimsical… congrats to Rhonda !

    I have a bunch of faux pumpkins that would look great with the rub ons-thanks for the great idea.
    I loved the pics of your shelving. It’s fun to see what kinds of books others have. Don’t you love the books by Alexandra Stoddard!
