DIY Baker's Twine Pumpkin

hi!

I'm back from my trip and I've been dying to show you this little guy I made for halloween!

I planned on posting more on my trip but the waves were calling my name, they were perfect, I had to get out there a boogie board my little heart out while I could.

[nerd, i know]

Anyway, since Halloween is right around the corner, let's jump into this little baker's twine pumpkin tutorial before its too late, mmmkay!

I got this little pumpkin at the dollar store and spray painted it white with some left over paint. 

I wasn't quite sure where I was going with this, but I like the idea of white pumpkins. :)

I grabbed some of my diy baker's twine [don't buy the expensive stuff when you can make your own for wayyyy less] and mod podge to see what I could come up with.

I started with the stem and used orange bakers twine to wrap around it.

For the top of the stem, I went back and forth with the bakers twine. 

Add mod podge as you go, you can even put some on the bakers twine to help it to stay down, just don't over do it, a little goes a long way. :)

the stem is done! looks better already, right?

Now for the second part, apply mod podge to the middle section of the pumpkin a little at a time and wrap the bakers twine around as you go.  

Use as little or as much bakers twine as you want. 

When you're done, put mod podge on the end of your bakers twine, tuck it in where you want it and stick on your pumpkin. :)

That's it! Easy right?

 It really easy, and fast.

[just what we like. not to mention cheap, it cost me a whole $1, since I already had some diy bakers twine, $3.27, on hand]
