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!

Colleen :)
