It’s a little earlier than I would normally post a Halloween project, but after seeing something similar at Hobby Lobby for $21.99, I had to try and make it for less! Theirs had a tall thin candlestick along with a pumpkin that had a face on it. A lovely item and one I may look for when it goes on clearance, but I wasn’t paying $21.99 for one.
This is what you need ~
a candlestick of some kind {I had this short one in my craft room already},
black craft paint,
a pumpkin to fit on top of the candlestick {I got mine from the dollar store},
a hat {which you can make, but I did buy this package from Hobby Lobby} and
some embellishment {the expensive one had crepe paper made into a collar or ruff}; I chose this Halloween hair elastic, also from Hobby Lobby.
Paint your candlestick {it doesn’t have to be black, but for this copy cat project that is what I went with, plus I had black in my supplies}. I also then took apart the pumpkin I bought at the dollar store. I just wanted the larger base one. You can save the parts you took off for another project.
I glued the Halloween hair elastic to the bottom of the pumpkin and one of the hats to the top.
I then glued that to the now dry candlestick.
Walla! Done in under an hour and it cost me less than $10.00.
Plus, the size I made will fit under one of my cloches!

Love those little witches hats. I thought they were lights. Still trying to think of something creative for you.
Now that's just too cute- and I love an easy project! ;)
Just adorable. I really do not think it is early either. I so love pumpkins. I recently spent a long time in Costco looking at all the Halloween magazines.
O'Kathy that is so cute! Gotta love those fast and easy projects especially when they turn out like that. Enjoy your evening, Gail
Kathy, this is so cute!! You made it look so easy!
How cute and fun is that ?! Love that you saw something you wanted (but not the price) and found a way to make it yourself (plus, I'm sure yours is MUCH cuter than theirs)! Thanks for sharing.
Just love it Kathy!!...so, so cute!!!
Just adorable! Definitely love the inexpensive part! Thanks for sharing.
Okay--so that s really cute! But I am so o not ready for it to be halloween time. I don't like Halloween but I guess I have to go there:)
Awwwww, cuteness! I love looking at something and then saying "I can make that" then 9 times out of ten I don't! LOL
This is such a cute project and I am sooo copying the idea!
It's very sweet for Fall/Halloween! Love in under the cloche. Thanks for sharing it. Wish a HL was closer to me. About an hour or so away! :(
Warmly,
deb
That is really cute, Kathy-just darling and I like the size of it- xo Diana
Perfect! I can't believe what they charge, either! I was in Jo-Ann's yesterday and didn't even let myself look st the Fall stuff b/c I knew how overpriced it would be! Great job.
You did it, Kathy. It looks great.
Perfect Halloween decor for your cloche. Cute little project that is now full of panache. I love it.
Kathy, That is so cute! What a perfect Halloween decoration. I am going to get started on my fall decorations next week. Life to the full, Melissa
