I’ve seen all sorts of mesh wreaths and beads covering them but, I want simple and easy In the photo below you can see how the original wire shaped 3D pumpkin looks upon purchasing it. When hitting the stores these pumpkins were being snatched up and they were hard to come by. Since then more stores have started carrying them because they are so popular.

3-D Framed Wood Pumpkin
Check out how I made this 3-D Framed Wood Pumpkin. I love to turn other people’s trash into treasures! Sometimes other people don’t see the value in items like I do. Going to yard sale’s and find things for fairly cheap to make new again is one of my favorite past times. Finding this cute turquoise chicken wireframe at a yard sale for .25 got me really excited and knew I couldn’t pass it up. At the time of the purchase I had no idea what I would use it for. A few months later I purchased a 3-D wooden pumpkin for $1.00. The size of the pumpkin fit perfectly…

Round Framed Skeleton For Halloween Home Décor
Have you ever seen a round frame where the glass inside of it bubbles outward? The thing I love about garage sales is the ability to find random items and recycle or up-cycle them.

If you want to create the same print the skull out. Remove all the explanations below by cutting the skull print to the size of the frame.

Halloween wood fall glittered Candy Corn Trio
There are so many fun aspects of Halloween and one of them is candy corn! I love how there are different flavors of candy corn but rather than eating them what I like even better is decorating with them. While out garage saling one Saturday we found these great wood candy corn blocks. They were unpainted but ready to go! $1.00 for both sets wouldn’t be a price we would pass up. Sorry about the blurry pictures sometimes I’m not the best at remembering to take photos as I craft. Snapping a photo at the last second seems to be my specialty. It’s pretty easy to take a set…

Polka Dot Mini Pumpkins make over DIY
During one of our many garage sale adventures we found these Mini Pumpkins. They were painted but pretty basic and just a little out dated. We were able to purchase all of the pumpkins that they had for only $1.00. These Mini Pumpkins were going to come home with us to get a little face lift! First off I sanded a few of them down to a rustic and faded orange. I made sure to get rid of the dark orange lines on the pumkins. Once they were sanded I then added glittered polka dots to the existing orange paint. The easiest way to glitter them is by putting dots of…
