    We are back with another episode of ZERO SPENT, but this time, I’m making fall themed DIY decor without spending an extra dime. Some of my favorite season decor pieces are the ones that I’ve made, so I’m keeping that tradition alive. In an effort to save some monies and get resourceful, I’m going to try and make some decor with things I already have, which may or may not include trash. The goal of this challenge is to not spend ANY extra money...so we’re going to make an effort to use what we have and get creative!

    About the pumpkins - If the plaster cracks, your layer was either too thick or it wasn't fully dry before you added a second coat or the paper maché underneath wasn't fully dry. It's easy to repair though, you can just fix the cracks with plaster and use sandpaper to smooth things out. Also, add a stone or something similar to the plastic bag construction if you want your pumpkins to be a bit more sturdy for outside use.

    Paper maché - definitely brings back memories. Some things just always work and don't cost much.

    Oh gosh Tina I haven't done paper mache in a long time but I do have a paper mache pumpkin that I finally painted purple and mine has these cool leaves on it that I painted a pretty green. I have done paper mache using balloons and those were alot of fun. Thanks for this fun video and so many things that you do are so pretty, those glass jars are so pretty and also those metal leaves and mushrooms glued to the outside really looks so great. Have a good week coming up. sending love and hugs, bye!! 😊🥰😂🎃🎃🧡🧡💜💜

    Hi Tina- the amber glass jars are beautiful and I really want to try this project! Recycling what I already have is important to me, and is much preferred over buying something new. I have a few questions though: 1. What was the ratio of red to yellow food dye used to create the color you got? 2. When you baked it, did you notice fumes emitting from the glass (online forums say to watch out for this)? 3. Are you using real tea lights or LED? If you are using real tea lights, have you noticed if the heat diminishes the color or makes it bubble? Thanks so much and keep up the creativity! -Kelly, Irvine, CA

    When I was in 5th grade, my best friend and I designed a two person horse costume for Halloween; the head was fencing wire and paper mache. We looked out of the bottom of the neck. We really had to figure out how to shape the wire, without cutting ourselves, and spent a full Saturday afternoon doing the paper cache. Black yarn for the mane, and fake eyelashes. It was very primitive, but we thought it was EPIC. For this reason, I love paper mache.

I love La Fermire yogurt some come in glass but one is in a little terracotta "flower pot" and I found tops on Amazon. I'm not saying purchase it just for the jar...to me its probably the best yogurt I've ever had especially the mango one.
