What’s Halloween without pumpkins? Right! Instead of carving pumpkins add rhinestones for fun 
Halloween home decor. Use either real pumpkins or foam pumpkins and “glam them up” with gems and ribbon. Pumpkins can be painted in a solid color like black or white or left orange. Finish with a beautiful Mini Bowdabra grosgrain bow with glitter spider center.
Materials:
- Pumpkin (real or fake)
- Black Spray Paint (if necessary)
- Halloween Rhinestone Stickers
- Glitter Spider
- 7/8″ Purple Grosgrain
- Mini Bowdabra
- Hair Bow Tool & Ruler
- Silver Bowdabra Bow Wire
Instructions:
1. Begin by gathering materials for your glam rhinestone pumpkin.

13. Gently pull the bow out of the Mini Bowdabra. Separate the two loose ends of the Bowdabra Bow Wire and bring them around to the back of the bow. To tie off the bow, pinch the Bowdabra Bow Wire securely against the bow. Twist the bow 4 to 6 times in a clockwise direction.

14. Fluff the bow and separate the loops.

15. Glue a glitter spider or something similar to the front of the bow to hide the Bowdabra Bow Wire. Use the wire to attach the bow to the ribbon. Spiral the wire around a pencil for fun ringlets.
