This past weekend I worked on my last Fall craft. Hey Thanksgiving is still 9 days away, so I had to fit something else in!

I found the coolest idea for white ribbon pumpkins at:

 I knew right away I had to try to make a few of these. Last week Michael's had their fake pumpkins on clearance and I scored 2 for only 45 cents each and a slightly bigger one for $1.39. I went searching for ribbon and found the perfect ribbon pack in the clearance section for $2.99.

I forgot to take a before picture, but here are the pumpkins after I spray painted them white and starting working on them.

And the final product:

These were so easy to make! I love how they turned out. I am hoping to get a cheap tablecloth to hide my really beat up table top. I also want to put the pumpkins on a piece of burlap as a centerpiece for Thanksgiving.

Check out the original idea and tutorial at Living Life Creatively.
