I have mentioned this several times now…
This is my first Fall to Decorate!
And of course…Emma and Andreas already carved a pumpkin!
Yeah…well…it was a goner in just a mere week. I wish I would have taken a picture of it! Blah!
I know there are tutorials on how to preserve them just a bit longer.
Instead, I wanted to go and get the fake pumpkins…
YES! I did say fake!
…and decorate them.
What a perfect project for Emma and I to do together!
I went and bought the pumpkins. They needed to become blinged out pumpkins.
Bought embellishments (I did go crazy and buy a lot).
We then spent an evening decorating.
Sweet Emma. Can’t you tell? She is wearing a Princess Dress-up. Don’t ask me which one…maybe Rapunzel?!??! Ha!
We then set to work and did our magic.
My favorite is this one:
And
Grand Finale
Emma’s
Took her as long to do hers as it did me to do the rest. But such a great pumpkin it is!
See where we placed them in a later post highlighting both my:
- Front Door and
- Fall Home Tour

Love! Every front porch needs a bit of bling. And it’s so much better not to have them turn into squirrel food.
Those look SO fun!! I love decorating for fall, it’s my favorite time of year! 🙂 What a perfect afternoon activity with you and your daughter!
Thanks Heather! It was not previously my favorite. Christmas usually is. But I have had a blast! Thanks for stopping by!! Will message you in the next day or so!
Beautiful pumpkins! Looks like a fun way to spend the evening together.

Thanks KC! It was a great time. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
They turned out beautifully, and what a fun project to do with Emma! Here in FL, carved pumpkins don’t last long either. I’ll have to try blinging them out next time 🙂
Yeah…a whole week Rachel! So sad. It was such a great pumpkin as well. I am thinking I may actually go buy more fake ones. Heck…they can be used again next year. Thanks for the kind words. It was definitely fun! I am sure your cuties would enjoy doing them as well!
