5 Pumpkins 5 Ways ~ Burlap Pumpkin Basket

Welcome to our final installment of FIVE PUMPKINS 5 WAYS! We’re so thrilled to welcome  Melissa, of Daisy Mae Belle, who is sharing our final pumpkin in the series with us today, a Burlap Pumpkin Candy Basket!  Take it away Melissa….

I am so THRILLED to be here At The Picket Fence today!

Heather and Vanessa are both so super sweet and creative! I’m so thankful that they’ve let me join in on their pumpkin fun! My name is Melissa and, I share my home and DIY projects over at:

Let’s start this pumpkin fun!

Now don’t get me wrong…I have nothing against the traditional plastic candy gathering pumpkins. I carried one myself for years, and it served its purpose well; helping me to collect more than my fair share of candy each Halloween.
But, like most of the creative world, I LOVE burlap!

SO, if you’re tired of the traditional plastic candy gathering pumpkins, this is just the project for you!

Supplies:

orange burlap ribbon
black burlap
green burlap ribbon
basket
hot glue
scissors

Hot glue the orange burlap to the basket.

{Start by only gluing the top.}

Pull the burlap tight and glue the end of the burlap down.

{If you’ve only glued to the top, you can make the burlap fit the shape of the basket before you glue the end down.}

Cut out the face, and hot glue it in place.

Now you’re ready to collect candy in style! 🙂

Life to the full!

Melissa
