Fall Decor-Framed Pumpkin

It doesn’t get much easier than this Framed Pumpkin! Such a fun fall decoration, and it takes just minutes to make!

This framed pumpkin takes only minutes to make. A simple and fun fall decoration!

It is the first day of September. You know what that means?

It means I can now decorate for FALL! Hooray!

I mean I love summer and all. Love it. But it’s really not all that fun to decorate for. You’ve got the 4th of July, but besides that. . . nothing.

Fall on the other hand is awesome for decorating. The fun textures. The leaves. The lovely colors. And best of all–the PUMPKINS. I don’t know why exactly, but I’m crazy for pumpkins. Tall pumpkins, short round pumpkins, orange pumpkins, white pumpkins, heck even square pumpkins. I love them all.

I love coming up with new ways to decorate with pumpkins.  A couple years ago, I saw some framed fruit at The Rachel Berry Blog. Thought it was awesome. It’s been bookmarked ever since. I finally got around to using her idea. Thanks Rachel! Instead of using lemons or apples, I used a pumpkin.

It doesn't get much easier than this Framed Pumpkin. Such a cute and easy fall decoration!
I found my pumpkin at the dollar store last year. I used a serrated knife to cut off the back third of it so I’d have a flat surface. Then I added just a little bit of orange spray paint to spruce up the color a little. Then I rubbed it down with brown ink. (I just used this ink pad.) Pulled a frame from my stash and spray painted it with Krylon black satin. Attached some scrapbook paper to the glass, and glued my pumpkin to the front. Easy peasy! I thought it needed a little something, so I added a ribbon to the stem.

It looks stinkin’ cute sitting on my entry table against my apothecary lamp.

Need some quick and easy fall decor? Give this framed pumpkin a try. It is so cute and so easy!
Now I just need to fill the rest of the table. 😉

    I want to do this! Was it really hard to saw off part of the pumpkin, or is just styrofoam or something?

    Interesting idea, sure is one perfect decor for the coming Halloween season! Very nice that the pumpkin is not flat at all, like its 3D. It seems easy to make, sure would be a great activity with kids during weekends.
