DIY Metal Wheel Pumpkin

       This cute pumpkin came along almost by accident.

I spotted this metal wheel on the shelf in my basement, grabbed a can of orange spray paint and headed for the yard.

 I made a little spray paint platform on top of my garbage can and started spraying.

I do have a paint shelter which works great, but truth be told more often than not I use the garbage can on the side of my house. 


It's definitely the most colorful garbage can on the block! 


I recently wrote about using a paint shelter. 


While I waited for it to dry I sat it on top of a nearby stump. 

Spray Painted Metal Wheel Junky Pumpkin

And here it began... a junky pumpkin in the making!


I looked around for a stick to use as the stem and found the perfect piece of old vine wrapped around an old fence. 


I cut off a piece for my stem then added some faux berries and a leaf. 


Junky Pumpkin Stem

I used E6000 to stick the stem into the wheel then added moss.

I ended up with the perfect outdoor pumpkin. I think this stump is a great place for it so I'm leaving it right where it is!
