DIY Burlap & Metal Ribbon Pumpkins

I LOVE Fall! 
I've been going through my bins of decorations all week, getting ready to transform the house!  As I was going through my stuff, I found these wicker pumpkins I've had that have always bored me, so today I'm going to show you how I spruced them up using burlap and metal ribbon!

 You will need:

wicker pumpkin

burlap

metal ribbon

floral wire (plain wire will work fine too!)

hot glue

*Most of my supplies came from Hobby Lobby & Michaels*  

I used 2 different styles of wicker pumpkins, but the process was the same for both.

First I took my burlap and cut it into thin strips, making sure it was long enough to wrap around the pumpkin

 I took the strip of burlap and tucked it into the top of the pumpkin, leaving a few inches loose.  Then I looped it around to the other side, and did the same thing.

 I repeated this process, leaving a space in between each strip for the metal ribbon

 When I finished looping the burlap, I took floral wire and wrapped it around the loose ends of burlap to secure them

 Next, I took my metal ribbon, cut it to length with wire cutters, then pinched the ends into a point, 

like this:

I looped the metal ribbon around just like with the burlap, but I hot glued the metal at each end, 

near the top of the pumpkin.

 To finish it off, I took another small strip of burlap and tied it around the floral wire. 

Isn't it cute?!  

 Here's the other one I made:

 The only thing I did different with this one was loop the metal ribbon first, before the burlap.  

But I'm loving how they turned out...not quite so boring!!

What do you think?!
