Don't throw out those pumpkin patch pumpkins just yet!

A friend of mine used to say she got excited about the littlest things, even gum wrappers! Here is my latest gum wrapper! I saw this idea a few years ago, and finally tried it this year. Paint your pumpkins into jingle bells! It makes great decorations inside or out!


I spray painted the silver. Then used a sharpy to draw the black part. I discovered that it looks better for the round part of the black to be up on the side a little way. Finish it off with a red bow, and there you have it! I thought they turned out cute!

(I know, I have pictures of pumpkins here before I have any of my kids! Oh, well. Maybe we will get some cute Christmas ones this weekend.)
