Rustic Pumpkin Decor Made Out Of Glass Bulbs (Pottery Barn Inspired)

Rustic pumpkin decor in just a few minutes! The supplies are really inexpensive and it looks charming on your mantle.

Pumpkins are a Fall staple when it comes to decorating! Typically, you will find your traditional orange pumpkins, but occasionally you’ll see a white or gray one.

This year, I went with navy pumpkins which was a fun paint pour project!

After first seeing Pottery Barn’s mercury glass version of these glamorous, antique-looking glass-finished pumpkins; I knew they were just what my Fall dining table centerpiece needed.

Supplies Needed to Make a Rustic Pumpkin

• Glass globe light cover
• Raffia ribbon
• Wooden stick from the yard for a stem
• Krylon “looking glass” spray paint
• Spray water bottle filled with water 
• Trim (whatever you’d like, I used rope and satin ribbon) 
• Battery-operated votive (optional)
• Hot glue gun
• Scissors
• Paper Towels

The spray paint makes it nearly impossible to do this project indoors, so this project is a great excuse to get outdoors and enjoy the fresh air! So there’s that!

How To Decorate With A Pottery-Barn Look-A-Like Rustic Pumpkin

This is one of the largest DIY pumpkins that I’ve made, so you’ll need to leave plenty of room around it. This glass pumpkin really does become a fantastic centerpiece and a conversation starter. 

When you decorate with it, place it somewhere safe where it won’t get broken. The globe has the perfect base – but it’s still breakable.

This fits perfectly on a mantle or shelf where it won’t be knocked down easily. 

Since it has a neutral color, it can fit in the middle of a bunch of other fall decor pieces too.

Since it’s made out of glass, you can put it on your porch with your other outdoor decor pieces.

Mercury Glass Pottery Barn Look-A-Like Pumpkin

The final pumpkin did not disappoint. It looks even better, in my humble opinion than the mercury glass Pottery Barn version! 

It was so much fun and super easy to do.  It would be a great Fall project for doing outdoors once those cooler temps roll in. 

These looking glass pumpkins would be so cute as decor on a table as a centerpiece or on a fireplace mantle or simply in a guest bath for the Fall season! What do you think, will you make one of these for yourself?
