About a week ago I saw this post on Vintage Revivals with instructions on how to make Junkins – Pumpkins except with Junk. I often see simple glass vessels in the thrift stores for less than $1. Some of the shapes are interesting but I always pass on them because I have no real use for them. Now something fun. On Sunday I made this cheerful cat-o-lantern. 
I found a picture I liked, enlarged it to fit the bowl and then followed the directions on the Vintage Revivals blog. I love it!! Next one I will put on 3-4 coats of paint but other than that, no changes. Here are some in process pics. I am going to make a few more and am thinking of ways to adapt for Christmas decor too.
