Pumpkin Plugs

I am very behind on all things Halloween this year.  I did some last minute decorating and opted for minimal pumpkin makeovers.  I hope you enjoy this super easy and quick DIY.

What you need:

Assorted Glitter

Various homeless pumpkin stems (free on the ground at the pumpkin patch, or at the bottom of store box)

Craft glue

Clear drying super glue

Small paint brush

Craft paint

Pumpkins in need of a stem transplant

Steps:

-Remove stems from pumpkins – at the this point I would apply paint if you are going that route

-Evenly apply craft glue to stems and sprinkle with glitter

-Make sure stems dry to the touch

-Apply clear glue to top of pumpkin and affix glitter stem

-Use downturned vases, votives, boxes of varying height for a fun display
