Repurposed Light Fixture Pumpkin & Fall Ideas Tour
This Fall project began with an old light fixture a friend gave me after renovating her bathroom... How did she know?
Right away I knew what they'd be... do you see it? I thought they already looked like a pumpkin and so they would be!

Next I painted it with hammered black spray paint then
painted the globe part orange with spray paint.
painted the globe part orange with spray paint.
When all the paint dried I reattached the metal piece with E6000 glue.
I added a metal wire tendril also with E6000 glue to the top.
I just knew this light fixture looked like a pumpkin and now so it is!
Love repurposed pumpkins like I do? Take a look at a few more I made at the bottom of this post.
And I'm not sure why I didn't think of this sooner but my old creative friend Bliss from Bliss Ranch (ok she's not that old) suggested that I put a battery tea light inside... and so thank you Bliss, here it is all lit up!
Repurposed pumpkins are so much fun to make! Take a look at a few more I repurposed in the past by visiting the links below.

What a great way to upcycle a light fixture! This pumpkin is perfect for fall decor and when it gets closer to Halloween, I can see it used in a spooky vignette. Love it!

DeleteSusan...you are amazing. I could spend all day on your blog admiring crafts. It'd take that long just to get through the pumpkins! But my favorites are always the originals and you got the market cornered on original with this one! Love it so much. I'll be looking at the thrift store light fixtures with new eyes. Thanks so much for sharing. Happy Fall XO
