Recycling a Broken Fake Pumpkin

Recently, I went into my attic to bring down the fall decorations, and when I opened one of the boxes, I found a giant broken (fake) pumpkin. 


I also noticed a bag of terribly wilted looking silk fall leaves, and some ribbon.



I started to toss them into the trash, and I thought...."Wait a minute! Aren't you the one who likes to recycle?" So, instead I decided to make something with this "trash."


First, I tied a bow with the ribbon.



Then I pulled the leaves and flowers off the stems.



Gathered up my glue gun and sticks.


And sat down and started to play around.


I first glued the ribbon onto the half pumpkin.


Then added the leaves 


and flowers.


I think I need to add some more....


Now I have a pumpkin on my front door...
