Coffee can pumpkin chain

This was a fun project!  I had some large coffee cans that I was saving for some project and I decided that they could become pumpkins pretty easily.  The most difficult part of this craft was cutting the faces out.  I ended up using my Dremel with a cutting disc to do all the cuts.  There were plenty of sparks and it is quite loud but all-in-all, things turned out fine.  I ended up hitting these with black spray paint all over and then dry brushing a coat of rusty orange colored acrylic.  I really love the color!  If you wanted to stop here and just use these as luminaries or standalone decorations, that’s cool.  I decided to chain them together and make a hanging decoration.  So next I added some D-rings to the tops of these and just used decor chain to link everything together.  The end project turned out very cool and it’s a big piece that takes up some dead space in the room.
