Ribboned Pumpkins

I love white pumpkins, but I’ve been seeing ribbon on pumpkins all over (magazines, blogs, TV) this year and wanted to give it a try.  

Since most of my decorations are black and white, I pulled out all the thin black ribbon I could find.

And wrapped them horizonal or vertical around the pumpkins. I used mini glue dots to hold the ribbons to the pumpkins.

And when I ran out of glue dots I used super glue. Probably a weird choice, but it works fast and I’m impatient.

I think I love the pumpkins even more now. Do you leave your pumpkins plain or add embellishments?

I LOVE those! I think I am going to have to make those for my mom’s house and have them ready for her when she gets back on a trip! :)
Also, I love how you made it a tutorial. I just wanted to say hello and tell you about a new thing I am trying to start called “The Handmade Pact” & “Handmade Tuesdays.” On Tuesday I feature someone for a tutorial (let me know if you ever want to be featured :) and then am also starting to have a linky where others can link up tutorials they have done on their blogs (can be from whenever. Just cannot be repeated on more than one linky). :) I am also wanting to feature etsy shops as well because not everyone can make things :) Have a great week!
