With Halloween this week, I’m moving on to creating general fall decor and Thanksgiving ideas to celebrate with plenty of color. You can find mini fake pumpkins everywhere right now, so I used them to make DIY pumpkin photo holders that can double as pumpkin place cards for fall entertaining or even Thanksgiving. Because they’re so small, they fit in perfectly on our shelves, our (NEW!) mantel or our bar so that I can always find a place for them. No matter what you display in your photo holders, they’ll add a fun pop of color to your home.

What color would you paint your pumpkin photo holders? I liked creating a little rainbow with them. Otherwise, you could use your favorite fall color scheme or simply choose colors that match your decor. If you want to keep it natural, you could also leave the pumpkins unpainted!

How to Make Pumpkin Photo Holders or Place Cards

Supplies:

  • Mini fake pumpkins
  • Acrylic paint, various colors
  • Paintbrushes
  • Thick gold wire
  • Wire cutters
  • Round nose pliers

Step 1: Remove the stems of the pumpkins if there are any. The pumpkins will need to stand flat.

Step 2: Paint the pumpkins. Start with one end and let dry, then flip to paint the other side. Add multiple coats as needed.

Step 3: Cut pieces of wire to 3-4 inches long and straighten them. Then curl one end by clasping it in the round nose pliers. Twist it several times to coil together tightly. This should allow you to insert a photo or place card.

Step 4: Insert the flat end of the pumpkin photo holder into the top of the pumpkin so that it’s sturdy. I didn’t need glue, but adding a small amount could sturdy the wire if it wobbles.

Add your favorite photos or use them to set your table with pumpkin place cards! You can store them away for the season, or you can let guests take one home to use a photo holder.

WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk abou WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk about the new pins in the shop...but they SOLD OUT in 12 hours instead πŸ˜­πŸ™ Andrew and I are so overwhelmed with the love of the #FIPWarriors community. Thank you to anyone who's purchased a pin to support Milo's treatment! We're so close to the end now! One more batch of pins coming up soon 😽
What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas decorations?! 😭 Half our neighbors already took down their Christmas lights, so I guess the only goal is to not be the LAST one with lights up. How long do you keep up your decorations?
Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holi Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holiday card before it's a week til Christmas, so we can actually send one πŸ€ͺ When we get Christmas cards, I always feel like a little kid getting mail again! Do you send a holiday card??⁠
⁠
(Grab this DIY card holder in the blog archives! πŸ‘‰)
More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHO More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHOCKED to see Milo's pins sell out so quickly. We made 50 with the expectation that we wouldn't sell very many, but I just put in an order for more inventory! 😭⁠
⁠
This time we'll be selling black and white cat "FIP Warrior" pins to help raise money for Milo's treatment. Stay tuned - a pre-sale is coming! Pins will ship again in early January. In the meantime, there's plenty of other products available in the shop! (Visit my @etsy via the link in my bio)
NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your su NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your support of Milo while he goes through FIP treatment! I designed a new enamel pin to help us raise the funds to pay for Milo's treatment...THEN we sold almost all of the pins in just in a few hours! I'm so thankful and in shock of the generosity of our FIP community 😭⁠
⁠
There are a few left and more on the way, so you can SHOP NOW on @etsy and here on IG!! If you want a pin and they are sold out, please tag yourself below! Visit the link in my bio to purchase πŸ›β

"FIP Warrior" is the name we give to cats fighting FIP and the humans who help them, bringing awareness to the disease and possible treatments. Our Warrior Milo is almost halfway through his treatment and we couldn't be more grateful to see him getting better! Every purchase from my shop helps us to pay for his expensive treatments and is so, so appreciated πŸ™πŸΌ
🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since 🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since my last post (oops!) but I had to fit in my one obligatory fall photo before I dive straight into Christmas! If you caught my Stories recently, you may have already seen why I've been so absent...⁠
⁠
Last month, our sweet Milo was diagnosed with a disease called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It's very serious and has required our full attention to give him daily injections that should help him recover. The treatment is 84+ days long and has taken a huge emotional toll on us. You can learn more about Milo's FIP story in my profile Highlights!⁠
⁠
Long story short: I've been too emotionally drained from Milo's treatment, my regular work and the crazy world around us to even think about social media 😣 I truly don't know how you fellow creators do it! Hopefully the cheerfulness of Christmastime gives me the urge to create again! (πŸ“Έ cookies made for a project with @spectrumorganic)
