I glued a gold painted stick, an old leaf and some wire, into the hole at the top using E6000, it made the perfect stem!

I sat the glass pumpkin on top of a rusty weight and added glittered acorns... (yep, round orange ones)

  1. Wonderful glass pumpkin! I keep looking for the day I get to decorate for the season without a house torn apart. When I do... anything can be a pumpkin!
