DIY Glitter Pumpkin Container

Fall is coming and ideas for fall decorations are just great for anyone who started to plan her or his fall theme at home or office and shop. I have an inexpensive and of course an upcycled project which help reducing plastic bottle waste. Yes, I made a DIY Glitter Pumpkin Container from plastic bottles. It’s super easy to make but the look is just amazing! perfect for fall occasions. Let me share with you how I made this DIY Gold Glitter Pumpkin Container

Things To Prepare

Super easy to make and easy-to-find supplies, great upcycled plastic bottles project. Let’s see what are the complete super short list supplies that were used to make this DIY Glitter Pumpkin Container :

  • Big plastic soda bottles (2 bottles)
  • White acrylic paint / White spray paint
  • Gold glittered glue
  • Gold glitter
  • Gold ribbon
  • Shelf handle

How To Make

This glitter pumpkin container is super easy to make. Great upcycled plastic bottle project to make with the whole family. Anyway, just follow these easy steps on how to make DIY Glitter Pumpkin Container :

1 . Make sure your plastic bottles are cleaned. Cut a bottle into two, cut around quarter of the bottom bottle. You need a pair of it.

2. Paint or spray paint both of the cut plastic bottle with white, to serve as a base color. Leave it dry.

3. Get a paper card and cut a long piece to be glued around the inner of one of the container. This will hold the two parts of container together if they are put together.

4 .Now apply gold glittered glue. Make sure it’s even. You can use a brush to do it. Before it’s dry, pour gold glitter all over the two plastic. Do it until all covered nicely with gold glitter. Let it dry.

5. Take a shelf handle and glue it on top of the container. Don’t forget to add a gold ribbon. Finished!

My glittered pumpkin container is just great for fall decoration or even for fall wedding favors. You can fill in some sweets inside the gold glittered pumpkin. How cute is that. The look of gold glittered pumpkin is looking very glamour. Perfect for fall wedding. The gold pumpkin is easy and quick to make. It’s also inexpensive; just great for budgeted fall.

Happiness Is Homemade Link Party – Summer To Fall

Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #439

 

 

Welcome to the Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #439 – my name is Katie from Love My Messy Messy Mess and I am MEGA excited to be hosting this blog hop for the month of August – yay for me!
 
 
It’s time to get to this week’s party – simply scroll down to see all the posts that have been linked up by our participating bloggers!

This Week’s Features

 
 
 
 
 
Unfortunately there is no veggie garden at our home, Starry Acres, this year.  We decided to move our VERY rustic garden (it was falling apart!) to a different spot and use that space to store our camper.  My husband promised me raised beds for next year – I’ll take it!  One of my favorite and easiest veggies to grow is zucchini and if you’ve ever grown it yourself, you know how much one plant can produce so I’m always looking for different ways to use it.  This recipe for Zucchini Kofta Curry from Rahda at The Magical Ingredients looks like a fun and different way to use up that veggie!
 
 
 
 
 
 
Another item I have a lot of – mason jars!  I use them throughout the year for making pickles, freezer jam, storing fruit in the refrigerator, etc.  But it’s fun to use them for creative purposes too, so check out Sinea’s 12 Really Cool DIY Projects with Mason Jars at Ducks ‘n A Row.
 
 
 
 
 
Summers are beautiful here in Western New York, usually falling between 75-85 degrees F on any given day.  That’s not to say it doesn’t get hotter, and our humidity can be pretty awful at times.  Coffee in the morning can feel a bit heavy, so I like to have a tasty chai tea instead.  This recipe from Kendra for Better Than Coffee-House Chai Tea sounds so yummy!
 
 
 

 

 
 
I am the biggest Dollar Tree fan – just check out my Instagram stories and you’ll see I regularly share my latest purchases :D. The possibilities are endless when it comes to remaking the items you can purchase there to make them fit your decor style.  Linda from A Labour of Love did just that with her Dollar Tree Foam Pumpkin Makeover – click to see what she did!

DIY Upcycled Bookshelf Bench

This August Challenge Theme is Upcyle! I love to upcycle things, give them a brand new life and turn them into something beautiful and useful. This time I was inspired by my kid’s reading habit and a Pinterest post; IKEA Besta Hack – DIY Seating Bench Perfect for Small Spaces. Yes, I made a bookshelf bench out of an old bookshelf. It’s small bench with enough spaces for books. Kids would love to sit on a bench with their favorite books stored underneath it. My DIY Upcycled Bookshelf Bench is super easy to make. But before I move on, let me explain a bit about The Sustainable Pinterest Challenge.

The Pinterest Challenge has had a bit of a reboot for 2022 and is now the Sustainable Pinterest Challenge. Each month I join a group of creative bloggers and we select a pin or two that we feel inspired by and give it a go. Starting in January 2022 the Pinterest Challenge has a sustainable, eco friendly twist to it. All the projects shared will have something about them that involves recycling, upcycling, a general ethos of reducing waste and using what we have. It’s not about beating ourselves with a stick, it’s just about giving thought to how we can make small changes in our lives just a little more sustainable and reduce our impact on the environment.

Last month’s theme challenge was “Reduce Single Use” and I made an DIY Tiered Tray Upcycled Cookie Tins. For this month theme “Upcycle” as sustainable as a base to any of our challenge projects, I upcycled an old bookshelf into a bookshelf bench for kid’s reading nook.

Things To Prepare

An old bookshelf and a nice comfy pillow seat are the main things for a new bookshelf bench. Let’s see what are the short list supplies that are used to make this DIY Upcycled Bookshelf Bench :

  • Bookshelf
  • White wood paint
  • Pillow seat

How To Make

Super easy to make since I painted everything in white. I like it in white because it’s like a blank canvas that will contrast to everything that you put on the bookshelf bench. Anyway, follow these easy steps on how to make DIY Upcycled Bookshelf Bench :

1 . I cleaned my old bookshelf before I started to paint it with white. All white! Let it dry.

2. Get a pillow seat that matches your bookshelf bench. Don’t forget to lay the bookshelf horizontally before you start to style your bench. I have the pillow seat in red that contrasted the bench. And all the books are like the colorful paint that decorating the white bench. I also add an adjustable white desk lamp.

Now, let’s take a look at what the other Sustainable Pinterest Challenge participants have made for their “Upcycle” challenge.

List of all participants 

Julie | Sum of their Stories

Gail | Purple Hues and Me

Julie | Treasures Made From Yarn

Lydia | Life Beyond the Kitchen

Terri | A Good Life

DIY Cactus Painted Rocks

Weeks ago I did Fun Summer Activity For Kids which is Rock Painting and I was painting fruit rocks with my kid. It was fun to spend time with your kid in doing something together and my kid was happy to play with colors and brush. Since I enjoy the rock painting project so much, I did another rock painting again, This time is DIY Cactus Painted Rocks. Super cute! Okay, I’m so excited to share with you all my steps in painting those small rocks into adorable cacti. Let’s find out more!

Things To Prepare

I save some rocks to paint with from my last fruit rock painting. Maybe some of you have rock collection and I guess now it’s your time to give a new look to your rock collection. Let’s see what are the complete super short list supplies that are used to make this DIY Cactus Painted Rocks :

  • White rocks (choose long and bulky or round-bulky rocks. If you have black or other color rocks, paint it in white first as the base color.)
  • Acrylic paint (white, green, yellow, red)
  • Tooth picks and paint brush
  • Glue

How To Make

Rock painting looks pretty simple and easy, but it takes some patience and tricks to do it in a faster way. Follow these easy steps on how to make DIY Cactus Painted Rocks :

1 . Make sure your rocks are cleaned. If your rocks are not white rocks, paint it into white first. Mine are white rocks. Choose some long-bulky rocks and some round-bulky rocks for cactus variation.

2 .Prepare your paint and a big bowl of clean water. The water is to wash the color away from the brush every time you need to change color. I also use large paper to protect my floor from the paint, it’s going to be a bit messy.

3. I started with green paint. I have prepared green and lighter green (use white to lighter the color you want by mixing it). I painted some rocks with green and some others with lighter green. Let it dry.

4. Get a toothpick and use it to give a white paint dots, row by row. Other may just in random dots. Get another toothpick and this time use darker green to make dots. followed by yellowish green dots. In that way, you will get different looks on your cactus rocks. Let it dry.

5. Now take small rocks and paint them in orange (mix red with yellow paint), red and pink (mix white with red).

6. And last is to glue the small colorful rocks to the green cactus rock as flowers. Let it dry and you are finished with the cacti rocks! Yay! Take a cute vase and arrange them. Super adorable!

The awesome thing about painting some rocks into cacti is not just about fun painting but you get a vase of mixed flowery cacti that you can use for decoration without ever having to water it and you can keep it inside a room with no sunshine forever! How cool is that?!
