Make a DIY Dryer Hose Pumpkin
I'm jumping on the dryer duct pumpkin craze!
I really didn't think it was possible to like a dryer duct so much! Not my invention but I just had to give it a try!
I began with this piece of hose/duct/vent (whatever you want to call it) actually leftover from my dryer installation. You can buy it HERE.
I'm telling you... it is beneficial to hang onto a little bit of everything.
I turned the dryer duct into a pumpkin shape and used hot glue to connect the ends.
I cut a champagne cork and hot glued it to the top as a stem along with a clump of moss.
To make a coiled tendril I used a piece of coated wire and wrapped it around the handle of a small tool.
I used glossy orange spray paint on one of my pumpkins and matte grey spray paint on the other.
I added a faux leaf and a piece of pip berry to the top of the grey pumpkin for decoration.
These pumpkins are a cinch to make and the dryer hose is not expensive!
Have fun creating!
