One day when at my favorite mall, I saw a new store that just opened called Paper Source.
It looked interesting from the window, so I went in and browsed around.
They had wonderful papers for all kinds of purposes.
I spotted a pretty blue and white patterned paper and thought I could
use it for a future project. I originally thought I would cover a box,
however with the Fall season upon us, I went in a different direction.
Why not try my hand at covering a pumpkin. Something we have seen in blogs and magazines.
The only materials needed are the decorative paper, a faux pumpkin,
(I used a glass covered pumpkin jar) a chip brush, and Mod Podge.
For my first time, I think it turned out OK.
If I decide to cover another faux pumpkin, I think I shall try my hand
in using fabric and then compare paper vs. fabric.

I love the pumpkin! It’s perfect for your home, and what a wonderful idea. Your pumpkin would look fabulous in my French Country home, I’ll try my hand at making one. PaperSource is one of my very favorite stores, they have everything beautiful…such an inspiring place. You are so talented, Shirley. I’m so happy to be on this Fall Home Tour with you!
Oh Shirley this is so pretty. I love this idea. I am going to try this. Seriously this is so cute. Where did you find the glass pumpkin?
Your pumpkin looks terrific! I have that same pumpkin jar so just need to find some paper! Have a beautiful day. We are getting rain but it is MUCH NEEDED!!!
Love it!!

I think your blue pumpkin is lovely. you did a great job!
Just lovely! I love the blue and white. The design of the paper is so pretty. It turned out great! Your talents always amaze!! You have inspired me. Thank you for the tutorial.
OMG, this is adorable Shirley!!!
That is one beautiful pumpkin. I love the idea of using other colors instead of the traditional orange. It is a lovely vignette with the pumpkin as the star.
This I a beautiful job and it fits in with your home perfectly. I have done these in years past with boxes. The fabric worked but I found the paper easier to work with than fabric. Loving this tour.

Love that blue & white pumpkin!! It’s fabulous!! Love anything blue & white
Great job on your pumpkin, and cool idea. Goes well with all your other lovely blue and white pieces, too. Isn’t this a fun time of year–one can be so creative. I just love looking at everyone’s beautiful décor–great inspiration!
Pinned (jenannhayden). I love fall. What a great craft idea!
Love your decoupaged pumpkin in your blue & white paper Shirley!
Try it with pretty paper napkins on glass! I split the paper napkin so only the topmost layer is used. I’ve even done little plastic nightlights like that and the result is so pretty!
