She creates her own, of course.
I have come to the conclusion over my vast
DIY years – that you can create virtually
anything you want to with duct tape, a glue gun
and spray paint.
This year, for some reason, mini white boo’s have
been very hard to find. I really wanted to use them
in a Fall Dough Bowl Arrangement, so I grabbed
a can of white spray paint and what do you know?
I made my own mini white boo’s.
Here is my…
Farmhouse Dough Bowl Fall Arrangement
I know what you’re going to say.
Why didn’t I buy fake white pumpkins?
Well, I thought of that. Couldn’t find any.
I even looked at faux mini orange pumpkins to paint.
But honestly, they just didn’t look as real as the…
REAL ones. 😀
So, I grabbed a bag ‘o punkins at the grocery store
and home I went to create my own mini Boo’s.
I didn’t want to paint over the stems, so a little bit of
tin foil solved that problem.
Then, several light coats of a matte white spray paint…
Instant Baby Boo’s.
I “officially” finished my Fall decorating
several weeks ago…
bwahahahahaha
(Yea, right.)
I can’t stop, people.
Everywhere I look I see a spot in my house
that isn’t covered with some semblance
of Fall. Can’t have that now can we?
😀
I grabbed a mini farmhouse dough bowl,
filled it with some filler and moss…
(filler = plastic grocery bags)
then add some dried hydrangea, my newly
painted white boo’s and some acorns.
And y’all know I am a grapevine freak.
So I broke off a few pieces and laid them across the top.
If I said the arrangement took me 10 minutes to complete,
I may be exaggerating that by a few minutes.
Because honestly it was throw it in, fluff it and stand
back and admire my handy work.
Honestly though, I think you could throw in some
fresh cow patties in a pretty dough bowl – and top them
with grapevine (LOL) –
and it would be pretty. There’s just something about
a dough bowl isn’t there?
It’s amazing that there is hardly any color
to this arrangement, just the whites and greens –
yet it just pops!
My sweet granddaughter loves mini pumpkins.
And, she loves pink.
Since I doubt I will be able to find pink
pumpkins, either… I guess I will be using that can of
pink spray paint in my garage I hardly ever use.
Baby Boo’s in Pink.
Perfect!

Hi Barb, I’m crushing on your dough bowl. I’ve had one on my wishlist for sometime now, but just haven’t made it happen. Your centerpiece is giving me a little motivation to go search for one! Thanks for sharing.

I love what you did with your dough bowl! The natural elements are just perfect. I must admit, I love buying new, real, mini pumpkins every year, even though it’s not very cost effective. I just love the look of them so much better.You little boo pumpkins look great!

Thanks for the great dough bowl idea! I haven’t used white and green color combination yet but it will look nice for Thanksgiving.
