Lace Pumpkins


I don't get to sneak a lot of girliness into our home. After all, the lady to guy ratio is a solid 1: 3 (unless you count our dog, Daisy, which the boys always do. Daisy doesn't care much for decor, though). Luckily, my style isn't heavily contingent on the use of pink, but I do appreciate the occasional bit of lace. So sue me, right?

Luckily, I happen to have an excellent lace supplier (hi Mom!) when the Muse calls me to make something feminine.



Enter, white lace pumpkins! A simple DIY project that will last for as long as you wish to keep it around--and easily sneaks a little femininity into an otherwise butch household. 


Supplies
   Faux pumpkin (white, or painted white)
   Lace doilies 
   Modge Podge 

Instructions 
  1. If your pumpkin is not white, start by giving it a coat or two of white paint. This white base will streamline the look of your pumpkin. Allow to dry.
  2. Apply lace doilies using Modge Podge. Start with the thinnest doilies first, then layer on heavier doilies. Allow to dry.
  3. Display! Boo! (that's a Halloween joke. Sorry)
