Want to make your bright orange foam pumpkins look like this?
You are in the right place!
A couple years ago I shared how to paint your faux pumpkins.
You can catch up here.
This brings us to the matter of this lil fella.
With his pitiful stem all plastic like...I know sad right?
We can fix that too!
I like to call it Stemoplasty for pumpkins.
It's a painless process by which the hideous plastic stem is removed.
And replaced with a authentic 100% genuine pumpkin stem.
You can find these stems at your local farm.
I harvested mine from last years crop.
what an improvement a stem can make!
Got a one piece foam pumpkin stem?
No problem.
Using a knife, carefully carve it away.
What if your previous stem hole is too large for your new stem?
Don't panic girls!!
Glue a few leaves around the hole.
I even added a mossy touch ;)
Ain't she pretty?
You may have seen the fuzzy vine version floating around pumpkin'ville
I know.
Bless her heart right.
A little stemoplasty can help.
Wait for it...
Ta Da!
In love I am!
OK.
I'm sure some of you may be saying "that's fine an all but what if you can't find stems"???
We can fix that!
Prepare your pumpkin...
Now take a walk and let nature surround you. Breathe in that fall air..
And don't forget to pick up a stick.
Any ole' stick will do ya. Grab some leaves too!
You can use hot glue or just "stick" it into the foam.
So much better wouldn't you agree?
Are you feeling fall'ish?
"Happy Steming" !!

“You can see the techniques of the knit on this style; Red Bandage Dress one day we will videotape the process of how our pieces are made. Herve Leger sale They weave the base and then hand-apply everything else. And our fit is really key. Oktoberfest Dress These pieces are more like sweaters than anything else—they’re not cut-and-sew, they’re knits—and that’s why they fit so well. People are so surprised at how well Herve Leger fits, and I tell them it’s all about how the dresses are constructed.”And finally, we dress for what we love too. For what we just can’t resist. Lubov, a former dancer, is a big fan of movement, so for her that signals the fringe-trimmed bandage dress.
