Thrift Store Pumpkin Basket Gets a Makeover

Thanks for Sharing!

A couple months ago we found this Thrift Store Pumpkin Basket for only $1.  It was brand new, still had tags attached at Kohls, it just needing a new home.  So home with me it went and it sat in my office stash until this past week when I gave it a little paint update.

I turned it into the cutest fall pumpkin basket.  It makes a great utensil holder, but would also would be adorable for piling up with fresh, hot rolls on Thanksgiving.

Let me show you what I started with.

The pumpkin basket was so cute to start with, I just wanted to go with a more neutral pallet.

So I gave the orange pumpkin and the wooden slats a creamy, white makeover.

I finished off the pumpkin with PAINT for the stem and the used the same color to add some definition lines.

I hot glued back on the raffia, leaves and acorn decoration.

I placed a pretty napkin in the bottom of the basket and then added 3 mason jars for the utensils.

I think he turned out pretty darn cute!  Now make sure to check out what the other ladies created for their Thrift Store Makeover.
