How to Create Unique Book Page Pumpkins

To make these beautiful and rustic fall pumpkins you only need a few things. Grab an old, damaged book, some decoupage medium, a little twine, and a few pumpkins.

To begin creating these beautifully unique pumpkins, cut out some pages from the damaged book you will be using. You can use a utility knife to remove the pages from the book.

Once your pages are out, rip them into thin strips. For larger pumpkins make the strips thicker.

Using a decoupage medium like Mod Podge, spread some using a foam brush over the pumpkin surface and then lay on a piece of the book page. Smooth the paper with your fingers and then add a layer of Mod Podge over top to seal the page.

Continue doing this until your entire pumpkin is covered being sure to overlap the pages so nothing shows through.

When your decoupaged book pages are completely dry, you can finish off your pumpkins with some vines and stems. Make vines out of jute twine and then glue them in place next to the stem.

If your pumpkins already have stems, wrap them in jute twine for a rustic feel, or add stems using sticks if not.

How fun are these fall pumpkins?
I am so happy that I was able to upcycle an old book to create these incredible pumpkins.
