Canning Ring Pumpkins

Mandala Stenciled Round IKEA Coffee Table

I love mandalas! They are such a pretty addition to some many pieces and come in so many designs.

Super sweet rustic pumpkins created from old canning rings

For years I have saw this cute simple craft on Pinterest and wanted to make some but never had spare canning rings. A friends was selling their home and moving south and had a huge box, perfect.
