Button Pumpkin

Button Pumpkin view 1

This year I decorated an artifical pumpkin with repurposed old metal buttons to create a unique fall decoration.

Although the project took a lot longer to create than I expected it to, I'm happy with the result.  (Don't you find many "quick and easy" projects take much more time than you expected them to?)

One of the best aspects of the project was sorting through hundreds of old buttons and finding the "cool ones" that called to me.

The buttons above with the rooster and the boat stood out from the eagles, shields and anchor buttons.  Can you find the clock face button above?

There were more men's faces than women's faces, and lion faces were scarce.  Can you find the button above featuring an old style car?

Happy Halloween!  I hope you enjoy the autumn season, Halloween and Thanksgiving!   


Click on the images to see them enlarged. (Yes, you can see these images even larger!)  The best way to see the images in their largest format is to (on a windows system) right click on the image and select "open in new tab" from the option box that opens. This bypasses software that limits the size of the image opened.  On the newly opened image, click on the image again to see it  zoomed maximum.
