No -- this doesn’t mean my pumpkins have had too much coffee (like most of US!!)
They are literally WIRED!!
I’ve been trying to use things in unexpected ways -- to make pretty autumn seasonal decorations {for free in particular!}…this where the inspiration led me:
….from this spool of wire picked up at the flea market (junk area):
…to these yummy pumpkins:
All it took was some cutters & some pliers along with some muscle (& a gouge out of my thumb!) …
…a twist of wire here, a wrap-around of wire there & you end up with:
I made a few & scattered them around the homestead --

I'm so excited for a pretty weekend day! I purchased a handle for my spray cans at Home Depot the other day! I'd much rather do visiting with you though and share.
ReplyDeleteI love, love love your blog!!!
ReplyDeleteI just became a follower and will definitely be back!!
Wired pumpkins are so easy to make!!! I only made one myself, which is not the norm for me. In face I walk by my wired pumpkin everyday asking myself, "why don't I make several smaller ones or even a large one!"
ReplyDeleteYour blog is lovely. Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving such a sweet comment on my "copper wired pumpkin". ~Carrie
