Velvet Pumpkin Door Hanger Facelift
Fall decor has a charm of its own, and what better way to embrace it than with a velvet pumpkin door hanger? Not just any door hanger, but one you’ve crafted yourself.
Enhancing Your Door Hanger with Ribbons
Ribbons add more charm to our already charming pumpkin. Don’t limit yourself here – play around with various colors including blue, orange, black, white or gold.
You can mix these shades together for added depth and interest. This will truly help upgrade your door hanger into something extra special.
It doesn’t stop there; let’s get creative.
Tying the Perfect Bow
If you’ve ever found yourself fumbling to tie a beautiful bow for your decor items then worry no more. The secret lies in choosing the right ribbon colors.
Ribbons play a crucial role in enhancing the look of your door hangers. Whether it’s contrasting shades like black or white against bright orange pumpkins or complementary hues such as gold and tan – each choice brings its own unique appeal.
Incorporating different color schemes enables us to evoke varied moods and aesthetics. It’s just like dressing up for different occasions; some days call for vibrant blues while others demand subtle tans. Learn how to make that perfect bow here.
Remember: No matter what color scheme you choose, always aim for harmony between elements.
Positioning Your Picks
To create an eye-catching effect, glue your animal print picks directly into the frame of the pumpkin around the bow. This trick brings out unexpected texture and patterns that are sure to turn heads.
Using Greenery Bush for Extra Flair
If you’re after a fuller look, consider incorporating a greenery bush. With its multiple stems that fluff out in three colors, it gives your door hanger depth without overwhelming its design. Think of it as mascara for your pumpkin – not necessary but definitely elevates the whole look.
Animal print picks aren’t just for safari-themed parties; they’re perfect embellishments here too. And don’t underestimate what a difference some strategically placed green foliage can make. Now get crafting.
Gluing Techniques for a Secure Hold
The first thing to note is how important it is to apply glue not only on the tip but also around the flat piece of a curled pick. This technique helps make sure that the velvet grips together well. It’s like making sure every jigsaw puzzle piece fits perfectly; secure from all sides.
You might be wondering why this method? Well, just as layers in lasagna keep everything held tightly together, applying glue all around creates more contact points between pieces – ensuring they hold fast and don’t slip apart over time.
A pro-tip: You can lift up parts of your ribbon and squeeze some glue between its layers down into its knot—just like hiding treasures inside secret pockets. Trimming and placing three final pieces of picks around your pumpkin further adds stability.
