DIY Industrial Chic Pumpkins

This post was sponsored by Lowe’s as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

It’s no surprise that I am obsessed with pumpkins this time of year, especially white ones. I decided to use a whole bunch of the craft pumpkins at Lowe’s, along with tons of random hardware pieces to create these DIY Industrial Chic Pumpkins.

Would you believe these DIY Industrial Chic Pumpkins are made entirely from items you can find at the hardware store? Click the link to see how!

What I love about this project is that everything came from the hardware store and you would never know it! These pumpkins turned out so chic and modern (at least I think so!) and that is the beauty of using unconventional items and thinking outside the box.

If you are someone who likes more color, you can paint these pumpkins a combination of bright colors for a more funky modern display or black for something more Halloween.

DIY Copper Wire Pumpkins

I used Copper Wire for these pumpkins and simply wrapped it around them several times and using a little hot glue to secure the wires together in the back. I tend to use this copper wire for a lot of home decor projects, it’s inexpensive and gives it a really chic industrial look.

This collection was really fun to put together and ended up being a really relaxing activity. It was a chance to really get creative and is something you could do for a craft night with friends or even have the kids help with some of the simple steps.  I think one of my favorite products I used were these Copper Caps I love how they add dimension to the pumpkins and look like little spikes.

So are you ready to see all of the products I used from Lowe’s to create this?

I started by spray painting all of the pumpkins white using Valspar Color Radiance in Flat White. I did two coats on all the pumpkins. I really wanted a metallic copper paint for the pumpkins to go with the metals I was using. I found out that Valspar makes a Brilliant Metals Metallic Paint and I was so excited. I got it in this Copper Glam color. It has a little pink/red tint to it and it’s so pretty.

I love industrial decor and I love working with unconventional materials, which made this project so much fun. I knew I wanted to work with copper, so I searched the store for all of the fun copper materials I could work with. I also added a little metal and raw wood since that is my favorite right now!

I used a hot glue to attached all of the pieces to the pumpkins and just played around with all of the designs and arrangement. When putting together a display like this I always think about balance. I wanted to have a variety of both painted pumpkins and also the metals mixed with a few wood designs. I also think about the direction of each design so I have some horizontal and some vertical. And it all turned out just like this! I love this fun white pumpkin display and the best part is, it works for both fall and halloween! Just add a little black in there and you are really set :)

    Most of my fall porch decor came from Lowe’s. They had the best selection of outdoor decor! Your pumpkins are quite interesting and unique! Thanks for sharing with us at Merry Monday.

    It’s beautiful and fun project. I also like pumpkins, I had colored my pumpkins with multiple deep colors but never do white color. Actually, white color has a different appeal, just appreciate your idea.

My goal with every room is to make it feel warm, i My goal with every room is to make it feel warm, inviting and extra cozy. It’s often the final finishing touches that truly transform the vibe of a room. I picked up some final styling pieces from @wayfair , I am obsessed with both side tables. They are both statement pieces. And the personal photos, candle, heart trays and leather pillows are why bring the warmth and personal touches into this space.

I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendl I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendly sofa that passes the designer test! This is the 5-Seat Modular Corner Sectional from @7thavenueco in the color Oatmeal Beige. We ordered it in the extra-deep seat option for ultimate coziness. The material is water-repellent, stain-resistant and you can also throw all covers in the wash!

We cannot say enough great things about this sofa, we all love it and just sink into it. It definitely passes the family test. Plus, it truly is gorgeous. It looks very chic. 

Comment SOFA and I’ll send you the link to this exact one!
