Vintage Pumpkin Tin


Not sure what it was... 



It sure looks like the top of something old and cool.

Because of my latest "paint everything orange obsession"
I knew right away what it could be!

After a little Pin-spiration  from my blogging friend Carlene from Organized Clutter and her cute little jello mold pumpkins...

I drilled a hole in the top and added this rusty thingy...

I painted the mold with 2 coats of Orange Chalky Paint then added a wire coil around the stem.


then a star was born!


For a little extra bling I added a pumpkin leaf and some berried garland.


Certainly a far cry from that old metal tin I found!

   


and don't miss all the other junky punkys!

    I think it is a very old jelly mold (you know, the wobbly kind of jelly)!! It's a good switch-out for a pumpkin. :) Hx (Aus)

    I'm wondering if you and Carlene both need an intervention this Fall? Not that I'm not enjoying all the junk pumpkins, I'm just jealous.

    I just love how you think. (I think I've said that before) but I do. It's fun seeing what you do with randow stuff. Love the little pumpkins.
