1. Paint your thrifted pieces

I used orange paint for this rusty cheese grater, but I didn’t cover it completely. We call it a paint wash. Just enough to get the color on there. Just please be careful when you’re painting this one, don’t get your fingers too close.

Next, I used white paint for the jello mold. These are the rose gold vintage style jello molds that you might have seen on your Grandmother’s kitchen wall. Again, just a white wash. This one is hard to see because of the bright light that I use for my live video.

2. Add a bow to your grater

Now that your pieces have a little bit of paint on them, let’s wave our magic wand and turn them into pumpkins! The only thing I added to the grater was this cute bow. Like one of my friends from my Facebook page said, “Sometimes simple is best.”

I used jute to tie my bow and then just tied it onto one side of my handle with that same piece of jute. You could use a dab of hot glue to make it stay in one place if you need to. After the bow was added, I wrapped on some curly twine and boom! We’ve got a pumpkin!

3. Add a stem to the jello mold

An old wooden thread spool is what I used for the stem for the jello mold pumpkin. I just popped it on with some hot glue. Now, hot glue and metal don’t always get along so you might need to use e6000 here.

After the stem was added, I wrapped some moss around it.

Last, I added a simple brown tubing bow and a little bit of curly twine and both of my unique pumpkins were complete!
