If You Love Patterns…
If patterns are a key ingredient in your design repertoire, bring them to the forefront this Halloween. These DIY Mini Monster Eyeball Donuts from Sugar & Cloth are as easy as stacking sour gummy rings and peanut butter M&M’s on top of mini powdered sugar donuts. The best part: you can arrange them in a pattern formation on a colorful platter!
Celebrate sprinkle patterns by decking out your pumpkins with donut style! These DIY Donut Pumpkins from Studio DIY look good enough to eat. Acrylic paint is your friend for this project:
If You Love Hanging Planters…
If you love hanging planters…make a hanging pumpkin! That’s right—grab some paracord, paint a few wooden beads, and create a clever way to suspend the mini pumpkin of your choice. A white pumpkin, grey cording and vibrant beads did the trick for this DIY Pumpkin Hanger project from Mirror80:
Or you can order a black and orange planter from Etsy shop McCheek’s Mayhem! A vibrant orange interior makes this piece a truly eye-catching one. Choose from either a black exterior with a white spiral design or a white exterior with a black spiral design.
If You’re Into Geo Design…
Geo design lovers, ’tis your season! Why? Because the latest fall finds are all about sculptural forms. Instead of creating a vignette of ceramic pumpkins and fall leaves, try grouping an interesting collection of vases in black and white. Below we see a spooky design-fabulous spread featuring selections from CB2:
Remember this painted pumpkin we created last year right here at Decoist?! Add some geo forms to your pumpkin with the help of craft paint and painter’s tape. Simple yet striking!
