Cheese Grater Pumpkins!! I have a couple of old rusted antique cheese graters that I was looking at the other day, and suddenly it hit me. Aha! Yes, I will pumpkins out of cheese graters! Now, don't worry. I didn't use my antique ones. Duh.
I really love how they turned out. And they make perfect luminaries. I just put some little glass votives inside, and boom. Let there be light. And I think the chevron fabric for the "leaves" tops it off nice. I'm really digging the chevron now. I wasn't so much about it at first, but now. I love it.
Sooo, what do you think? These were so fun and easy to make! I'll be posting a tutorial on how I did these soon. Have you made pumpkins out of anything unusual, or decorated them in a cute new way?

ReplyDeleteWow, how creative, the orange votive makes the grater looks like it orange too. Great idea.

These are really, REALLY cute. Would be darling on my kitchen counter :)))
ReplyDeleteHi, I love these and I have one that I can redo. It's all country right now and I'm kind of sick of it. Did you spray these? If so what color?
ReplyDeleteMy sister and I are having a Pumpkin Party over at our blog and would love for you to join in with these unusual "pumpkins". Hope you come over. Linda

ReplyDeleteYou should come join the Great Pumpkin party that I'm hosting with Happy Hour Projects and One Artsy Mama! http://www.waittilyourfathergetshome.com/2012/09/05/2664/
What a great & definitely new idea for pumpkin decor :)
ReplyDeleteThis idea is GORGEOUS!!! I LOVE IT Katie! :D
ReplyDeleteWow what a cute idea. I love it.
ReplyDeleteThat's a very original cute idea to make a pumpkin with. Who'da thunk it? Did you paint the graters orange or is that the candles inside making them look orange? Whichever way it's incredible. I"m a new subscriber so will be looking forward to seeing your next project. Really great blog.
ReplyDeleteThis is SO creative! LOVE it! I'm including this in a 13 for Halloween: Decor roundup on my blog tomorrow, with one pic and a link back to this post. Great job : )
ReplyDeleteI have a contemporary rustic home, so I keep these out year 'round. I use the square graters mixed with old fashioned round graters. One warning: The handles that go over the top of the square ones get very hot with real candles. I suggest battery powered candles. Love them!
