Concrete Pumpkin Napkin Rings

Happy Monday! Let’s kick off the week with a post full of beautiful and unique table setting ideas for the upcoming holiday season. I’ve partnered with 24 bloggers to bring you fresh new ideas for Thanksgiving and Winter. So please, BE OUR GUEST!

Today I’m sharing a tutorial for my Concrete and Copper Pumpkin Napkin Rings. These are so easy and inexpensive to make and are a fun twist on tradition Thanksgiving decor.

Concrete Pumpkin Napkin Rings - Easy Tutorial

SUPPLIES

– Feather Finish Concrete or Quikrete

– Rubber Pumpkin Mold (I found mine at Wal-Mart for $.97)

– Copper Wire 

– Hot Glue Gun

Concrete Pumpkin Tutorial

Quikrete would definitely be less expensive for this but I already had some left over Feather Finish Concrete from our Concrete Countertops  so I used that instead.

I mixed the concrete using a 2:1 ratio, I only needed about 1/2 cup to fill the mold. Once I filled the pumpkins, I used a putty knife to scrape off the extra cement and create a clean flat back to each pumpkin. You’ll want to let them dry for 24-36 hours or until you see them lighten in color. Then just carefully peel them out of the mold. They should pop righto out.

I wrapped thin copper into circles and separated each loop. Then secured them with some hot glue.

#ad We’ve been working on a few refreshes in our backyard this year! The sun has worn down a lot of our furniture out here so we are swapping out our weathered umbrella tables with these gorgeous black fluted tables from @veradek . I already had the matching planters out here (and love them BTW), and decided to add one more in the SandStone color for a bit of contrast. #myveradek #reimagineoutdoors #meetyououtside

Almost everything in here was either brought from our Washington home 3 years ago or bought second hand! Piece by piece this room has become a cozy space for our family over the last 3 years. The new stairs are staying and will work into the new design, I love them so much.
