YAY! When I saw that the first round was going to be knockoffs, I actually said crap. Mainly because I don't really do knockoffs and I had NO idea what I was going to do. For days I was just panicked over what I was going to do and how, if I didn't come up with anything, I wasn't going to make it to the next round. Finally I saw these pumpkins from Horchow.
Aren't they pretty? And only $195. Yeah that is not a typo. Those are some spendy pumpkins. Anyway, here are my pumpkins.
They are really easy and you should be able to make your own set of 3 for about $20.
You will want to get yourself some of the foam type pumpkins. I got 2 at the good old dollar store and one at Micheals.
First you will want to spray paint your pumpkins white. Then you just add the crystals. At first I bought a bunch of those stick on crystals (you can see them in the background of the picture above.) But then I found this bag of rounded acrylic crystals ($7 for a bag that will cover all the pumpkins you would ever want to cover) It was a little more work to hot glue them on, but I actually think they looked better.
Now onto round 2.
Let's hope I can get my creative juices flowing.
BTW, did you see those amazing round one projects? That dresser was amazing.




I like yours better than the expensive ones! Well done! I also like the chandelier incorporated into your Halloween decor. I may have to steal this idea!
