An Up-Cycled Bicycle Wheel Garden Pumpkin

September 02, 2013
My bike wheel has appeared on my blog in several posts.

Now, my bicycle wheel is still in the garden, but it's orange and has become a garden pumpkin.

These are junk pieces from one of the furniture store junk boxes.  They are a corner bracket or brace.  I was going to leave them unpainted but they didn't show up well on the open spokes.

The mouth is actually a metal vintage ice cube tray divider.

I glued them on with E6000.  If they don't stay (but I think they will) I can wire them on.

I like re-using my props for many different occasions.

    You are just so clever Carlene. Sure made a cute pumpkin. I have a small one that I wanted to make a clock out of, but may do a pumpkin now and clock later. Love it in your garden and the ice-tray-tingy-mouth is so cute.

    You are very clever Carlene!
    And so far along on your Autumn decorating too.
    Are any of the trees changing by you?
    We have some starting too and the heat we had and the lack of rain seems to really have stressed them.
