Other than the plastic pumpkin, everything came from my stash. Here’s what you need:<br /><ul><li>A plastic trick-or-treat pumpkin (Mine came from Walmart for<b> $1.00</b>)</li><li>White spray paint</li><li>Burlap scraps equivalent to 1/3 of a yard or so</li><li>Mod Podge</li><li>Small paint brush</li><li>Jute twine</li><li>Green florist wire</li><li>Clear indoor/outdoor acrylic spray</li><li>Optional…a Mod Podge craft mat. It’s the pink thing in all the photos. If you découpage as much as I do, you will love this…so much better than using newspaper! (And they aren’t paying me to say that!)</li></ul><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-HmqHkqEugafLgy3HjCvXNDeiKONjZbjJFQV-JKDFpBH-YBcTlnGoY0GEYo7LdJVpvwYvnS_y3fJSu6DYHKoaa6RZOwYS7FnNajEltNstmAOd4pqQOONGPWG-qm-hRV-LyqAf6XAFaDr4/s1600-h/CONFESSIONS%252520OF%252520A%252520PLATE%252520ADDICT%252520%252520Pumpkin%252520Planter%252520Tutorial%25255B9%25255D.jpg"><img alt="CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Pumpkin Planter Tutorial" border="0" height="606" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFusKj_l9AUbSHuJMtDZKrfUcugXhsW3o2YH1ljgKcLoi2HANi1drDJutxqRwKidVcCmlZkyP1AVB6H5b72h3-9kr5dYL73xdN8t7g1RKTCrqp3TEl0qM-1oXweHVb5mWUtlTlD6NhTLW2/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Pumpkin Planter Tutorial" width="606" /></a> <br />Here’s what you do:<br /><br /><b>1. </b>Remove the handle and spray paint the pumpkin white so that the orange will not show through the burlap<br /><br /><b>2.</b> Cut 12 to 14 strips of burlap that are 3” x 12”<br /><br /><b>3</b>. One at a time, cover the strips with a generous coat of Mod Podge<br /><br /><b>4.</b>  Apply the strips to the painted pumpkin, beginning at the face. This will be the back of your planter. Work all the way around the pumpkin, layering the pieces to resemble pumpkins sections. <i>Important</i>…be sure to smooth each section carefully, overlapping them slightly and covering the top and bottom edges as you go. You will have about one inch of the strip tucked inside the pumpkin and another inch tucked under it. You may need to brush on extra Mod Podge as you go to help the strips adhere. I find that it helps to stop and wash my hands after a few strips to keep them from getting too sticky.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXVxjnp-ohzbeW3TaS9aaR34vTc1CNR4DFXbHwNIObjHuP8vEEBZmOeRQmjC_8oDr_yNkKabpewb0M5G-9v1taoZRrArs9iiAajg5YACSG8UeRgE8t9Uz3LFJel6H2z7CBWdmj5eUBaLbd/s1600-h/CONFESSIONS%252520OF%252520A%252520PLATE%252520ADDICT%252520%252520Pumpkin%252520Planter%252520Tutorial%2525202%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img alt="CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Pumpkin Planter Tutorial 2" border="0" height="606" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjYOZE6QTRAsbz5WiGid0LYSRhYZO-JlgLqj24HUDzjoTlfYcjzUT0wHJ65JoYenndiUts9e_qbppTX2pYiYaqXH8cB_oCpDXuQQMyZH2un7QOyPN3s7qCzExz6Pux4V4H1tC5oR8uAoEE/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Pumpkin Planter Tutorial 2" width="606" /></a> <b>5.</b> Once the entire pumpkin is covered, allow it to dry for several hours by placing it upside down on a plastic container.<br /><br /><b>6.</b> Cut a circular piece of burlap, coat with Mod Podge and add it to the bottom to give it a finished look. At this point the pumpkin will need to dry overnight. You will also need to turn the pumpkin right side up and allow the inner edge portion of the burlap to dry the next day. Don’t be impatient. I used a LOT of Mod Podge and it took a while to dry to the touch. Once the pumpkin has dried <i>completely</i>, spray it with acrylic spray. I used Krylon Indoor/Outdoor Clear Protective Finish<br /><br /><b>7.</b> In the meantime, you can make the <i>pumpkin-y</i> additions.  Make tendrils by coating jute twine in Mod Podge and wrapping it around something with some diameter (I used a fat permanent marker) and let it dry for about 15 minutes. Remove it and reshape the tendrils to finish drying. <i>Note…if you leave it much more than 15 minutes, it will be stuck to the marker! </i><br /><br /><b>8.</b> Cut a leaf from the burlap ( I used an enlarged version of the pattern that I used<a href="http://confessionsofaplateaddict.blogspot.com/2013/09/easy-no-sew-shirt-pumpkins.html"><i> here</i></a>) and coat it with Mod Podge.<br /><br /><b>9.</b> When the leaf is partially dry, thread green florist wire through it so that it will be flexible<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEwTxTVdgzr58T7eUStec-BOiUE2XPPPJFzQK3gKqR1Ko_M0wm7aVbP7YfEWFCGd4qU-Zr5VbnZk23UE-2FNERDWVAJyKBSTNB-QdHqsv_UjFjoDjso7-rfsiAwubFnM2eNRxETyGg6qNK/s1600-h/CONFESSIONS%252520OF%252520A%252520PLATE%252520ADDICT%252520%252520Pumpkin%252520Planter%252520Tutorial%2525204%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img alt="CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Pumpkin Planter Tutorial 3" border="0" height="725" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPz3OCqmsccNxT4d-6psVWM97ikp8yNwFC7As9rngr_nFBHHO0ykvzCuGfnxTtnL4Pepi5M0wwB14o_Zn9bCHJOzm72YzZ17E8CmLrR_1eYyiaEmKCqhfVvSdGX1WO80EDd1WUCQCTrlAE/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Pumpkin Planter Tutorial 3" width="579" /></a> Next, go ahead and add your flowers if you are going to use real ones. That’s a kind of messy job, so you want to have the plant in place before you add the leaf and tendrils.  I used a brush to remove all the excess dirt and beefed up the edges with some Spanish moss, too.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO2T2oJ9zY0r2HYpYSGG9r5iKK2engqh_sJuFddyGgeYBxB56eDN-mNiOlSJtFKR39Uq3GIM0XmYblno8tSkyLGe4CvV0f7JtMkS2s_Uej525-YwIUZj7gVVCPKR2nUftikbk-WIALmVBe/s1600-h/CONFESSIONS%252520OF%252520A%252520PLATE%252520ADDICT%252520%252520Pumpkin%252520Planter%252520Tutorial%2525203%25255B8%25255D.jpg"><img alt="CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Pumpkin Planter Tutorial 4" border="0" height="484" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwENLmsN3ZHUSbJfVSQjNozq0XcksNdz8MMM9ro1XX_1Ju4IIAFuXkO1KDSEwH3KyzusRhdn9scfzUsZjLKTgp4xt2TRGlXDh9XPYkJxz98ghh7d4J05caWY6w-e9ypbZUfPy1SOt9mlty/?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="CONFESSIONS OF A PLATE ADDICT Pumpkin Planter Tutorial 4" width="644" /></a>Finally, I hot-glued the leaf and tendrils in place.

You know how cheap thrifty I am when it comes to my projects! And I have to say…with apologies to Robert Duval…I love the smell of Mod Podge in the morni…
