The copper trend is hot, hot, hot right now and pairing the metallics with the cool tones of grays and blues is beautiful!

I had an ugly old gourd in the attic and spray painted it copper. Isn’t that little sandy pumpkin adorable?! I had this beautiful slice of a shell that reminded me of a leaf, so I added that also. You can paint the pumpkin stem with cream or brown craft paint if desired and finish it off with a few embellishments like twine, sea grass, Spanish moss, or what ever you like. Repeat the Mod Podge and sanding process all the way around the pumpkin until covered. I placed a cookie tray underneath to catch the falling sand.

The space is very limited on the other side of the door.
