What a Great Idea
Beyond Bulbs

Beyond BulbsTurn glass lighting shades into stunning vases.

  1. Choose pendant glass shades from the wide selection in the lighting
    department.
  2. Place the shades on a mantel or table with the larger
    opening face down.
  3. Arrange assorted dried flowers in the shades.

Good to Know
Keep in mind the height and shape of the glass shade when you choose the dried flowers. For example, use a tall arrangement in a slender shade.

Pumpkin Patch

Pumpkin PatchServe sweets in festive containers.

  1. Apply gold spray paint (#282273) to the interior of an 8-inch clay planter; let dry.
  2. Sketch a pumpkin face onto a sheet of paper, and then cut out the pattern
    using a utility knife.
  3. Use release-easy tape (#40998) to attach the template to the planter.
    Trace the pattern with a pencil. Using a small brush, apply black exterior paint in a satin finish. Allow to dry.

Good to Know
Fall flowers, such as mums, would look great in these painted pumpkin planters. Place a group of containers at your front door for a seasonal welcome.
