Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Repurposed Pumpkins

I know...I know.....more pumpkins, but a few weeks ago we looked at vintage pumpkins so I thought this week we would look at ways people repurpose items into pumpkins. Let's head on over to Etsy. :)


Well will you look at this that RelicsandRhinestones has....now this is a way to repurpose old bed springs! LOL! They look really good with the pumpkins on top.

Here is another neat idea from IronDesignsIowa. They took some tin from an old barn and cut it into a pumpkin shape. If you have a rustic decor this would really look good in it. 

Are you planning on having a Halloween or Fall party? If so, how about using these little paper pumpkins from TreeCycledCrafts. They are repurposed books that were turned into pumpkins. They would be good table decorations for your party. 

Now here is another clever idea! How about repurposing old horseshoes into a pumpkin like VictoryBarn did! What a great idea!

I can't believe all the things that people can repurpose into pumpkins. When I was looking there were so many really neat things people made. You should take a look at all of them. Gave me some really good ideas! :)

Have a great week!

Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Pumpkin Coasters

Following the Autumn theme (can you tell I just love Fall! LOL!) we are going to keep on rolling with pumpkins. (pun not intended. LOL!) 

Do you have a lot of fall colored fabrics in your scrap pile? If so, Brandi from abrandicreation is going to show us how to make really cute pumpkin coaster that you can use that fabric stash on. :)

These look really easy to make and you can make coasters for every season like Christmas ornaments, Easter eggs, hearts for Valentine Day to name a few, if you want. :)

Happy sewing!

Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Vintage Pumpkins

Well the pumpkins are starting to ripen and pretty soon they will be showing up by the bazillions at the stores and in the Farmer's Market. Pumpkins are a sure sign that fall is here. So I think today we will look at some vintage pumpkins on Etsy. 

It is getting to be time to be drinking that tea. You can use this tea pot and sugar and creamer that LizzyJeansAttic has. 

Are you planning on making sugar cookies for your Halloween party? Well how about making some giant pumpkin cookies. You can find this cookie cutter at MyForgottenTreasures.

Now if you make those sugar cookies you can put them in this vintage cookie jar from HappyVintageStudio.

So now we need a tablecloth to cover that table so that we can put all our pumpkins on it and UncleBunksTrunk has this one. 

Lots of vintage pumpkins that you can use to do your Fall decorating!
