How to Make Velvet Pumpkins with Tacky Glue for Your Table Decor

How to Make Velvet Pumpkins with Tacky Glue for Your Table Decor

What are you thankful for? We’re thankful that our friends at Beijos Events made these gorgeous velvet pumpkins with Aleene’s Quick Dry Tacky Glue! These charming pumpkins are a great addition to any tablescape, so get ready to learn how to make velvet pumpkins for a picture-perfect dinner this Thanksgiving (or Friendsgiving too)! What you need: Aleene's Quick Dry Tacky Glue COLORSHOT Premium Spray Paint in Lucky Penny (optional) Velvet fabric in colors of your choice Real or faux pumpkin stems Large needle & thick thread Scissors Bowl Rice Dry polyester packing fiber Step 1 If you choose to paint your pumpkin stems, apply several light coats of COLORSHOT Premium Spray Paint until desired coverage is reached. Set aside and allow to dry for at least 10 minutes. Meanwhile, trace your bowl onto velvet fabric to use as a pattern and cut accordingly. Step 2 Thread your needle with thick thread and stitch around the cut edge of the fabric, approximately 1/4" apart. As youre stitching, pull the thread through, creating a gather. Leave extra thread at the end so that you can tie the pumpkin closed later. Step 3 Fill your pumpkin with rice on the bottom. The rice acts as a weight to keep your pumpkin upright! Step 4 Add the polyester packing fiber on top of the rice. Fill the fabric to the brim with the packing fiber and push it around until you get a round, pumpkin-like shape, cinching as needed. Step 5 When youve reached your desired shape, cinch the thread and secure the opening with a knot. Step 6 Glue your pumpkin stems to the center with Aleenes Quick Dry Tacky Glue. Press and hold until the stem is secure, then allow to dry fully for at least 35 minutes. Step 7 Your velvet pumpkins are now complete! Add a personalized nametag to each pumpkin to use them as a place card or use them as an accent piece for your tablescape spread.

Upcycle Project: DIY Hanging Planter

Upcycle Project: DIY Hanging Planter

We’re always looking for a good upcycle project; there’s something so creative and exciting about repurposing an item in a whole new way, don’t you think? This plastic bottle upcycle project from Norx in the Know turns a 2-liter soda bottle into the cutest kitty cat hanging planter. With just a few craft supplies and Tulip Dimensional Fabric Paints, you too can make a hanging planter that’s absolutely purrrrfect. No one will ever know it used to be a plastic bottle! What you need: - Tulip Dimensional Fabric Paints (Pink Slick, Light Pink Slick and Black Slick shown here) - Plastic 2-liter bottle (one per planter) - White spray paint (COLORSHOT Premium Spray Paint used for this project) - Scissors - Marker - Yarn or string - Hole punch For this upcycle project, you’ll want to cut your 2-liter bottles in half and use the bottom halves. If you don’t want to just wing it when cutting, you can first use a marker to sketch a line around the halfway point of each bottle, creating 2 triangle shapes on one side for cat ears as shown. Once you have your bottom halves cut out, spray a coat of white spray paint onto the outside of each. Let dry completely. Once the painted bases are dry, create the cat faces using Dimensional Paints in your desired colors. If you’re nervous about freehanding the faces, you can first lightly sketch them on with a pencil. Let the painted faces dry, then it’s time to add your string and pot your plants! Punch a hole on each side of the planter and tie each end of yarn or string through the holes. Hang your adorable cat planters and enjoy the fact that you just made an upcycle project that also recycles, and adds good-for-you greenery to your space!

We think this super colorful spider technique over a rainbow swirl is one-of-a-kind and a fun way to stand out from the crowd! Here's how you make it! Instructions What you need:– Tulip One Step Tie Dye Kit (Neon 5 pack)– Tulip One-Step Tie Dye (Black)– White Cotton Tee Dampen the shirt and fold it in half. At the top, below the collar, start twisting the shirt into a spiral. Bind the spiral into a pie-shaped wedge using rubber bands. Mix up the dyes and dye in rainbow color order. Make sure to saturate well with the dye and let it soak into the folds. Now flip the shirt over. Dye the entire backside with the black dye. Saturate well. Cover and let set for 6-8 hours, then rinse. Wash and dry by itself.
