Pinterest Inspired: ♡Pumpkin Decorating, Recipes & Skincare♡

Pumpkin season is upon us, and the pumpkin craze is in full swing!  Everywhere you turn you see pumpkin DIYs, decorating ideas, and of course recipes!  So today I was inspired to make a Pumpkin themed blogpost showing you some ideas on how to decorate pumpkins, make pumpkin recipes, and even how to make a pumpkin face mask!  

All these ideas I found on Pinterest, so yes this is another Pinterest Wednesday blogpost (on a Sunday lol).  If you're new to this series, let me explain.  I just take things I see on Pinterest and recreate them in a blogpost and/or video!  Be sure to check out the Pinterest Wednesday board to keep posted on all of the Past/Present/Future Pinterest Wednesday posts and just comment or message me to be added to the board if you have any pins you want me to recreate HERE 

The specific pumpkin decorating ideas I am going to show you in this post are a glitter pumpkin and a sequined pumpkin & the recipes are are a vegan PSS (Pumpkin spice smoothie) and pumpkin clementines, plus a skincare recipe is a pumpkin face mask!  Also, be sure to watch the video down below that goes along with this post! Enjoy!

Sequined pumpkin 

This first DIY Decoration idea is a Sequined Pumpkin.  It is super easy to make and looks really cute as a side table decoration! 

Materials

 ~ Sequins 

~Elmer's Glue 

~Pumpkin (Real or Fake)

Directions

~Place small dots of glue on your pumpkin where you want your sequins to be

~Press the sequins into the glue

~Wait for it to dry

~Once dry your pumpkin is dry it's ready for use!

Glitter Pumpkin 

This DIY Glitter Pumpkin is my favorite DIY in this whole post, because I have a HUGE obsession with glitter!  It also makes for a beautiful centerpiece at any table!

Materials 

~ Loose glitter of several colors; I used brown, gold, and orange

~Gold or any other color spray paint

~Pumpkin (Real or Fake)

~Elmer's Glue

Directions 

 ~Spray paint your entire Pumpkin 

~Once dry apply Elmer's glue to the top portion of the pumpkin ONLY

~One color of glitter at a time, pour it onto the glue

~Apply a bit more glue under where your glitter is (unevenly so it looks like the glitter is dripped onto the pumpkin) DO NOT COVER THE WHOLE PUMPKIN

~Pour more glitter onto that glue

~Place a bit of glue at the top of your pumpkin's stem 

~Pour a mixture of glitter onto that as well

~Wait about 3-4 hours for it to dry

~Place where ever you please to decorate, just a warning that some glitter may get onto the table!

Pumpkin Face Mask

This last Pumpkin DIY is a face mask!  It is super easy to make and when I use it, it leaves my skin feeling super smooth!
