I am really excited about today's post. I know, it isn't my usual recipe post, but it is a cool and easy craft post. And since I've been asked to do
I have seen something similar to this on Pinterest, and last night my sister texted me a picture of canning rings put together like this, but decorated for Christmas. She said she thought it would be cute and I should do one for my blog. I thought, hey why not?
The best part about this craft is that it cost me a whopping $0.10 per pumpkin to make. The only thing that cost were the decorative leaves and the zip ties. We actually already had the zip ties, but I thought I would go ahead and throw in their cost as well.
What helped with the cost was getting canning rings from my parents. I had a feeling that they might have some and boy did I hit the jackpot. What I love about them is that they are rusty and old looking. But it wasn't my intention to leave them that way.

Once you have them together, the best thing to hold them is a zip tie. Steve used two zip ties to make it large enough to go through all the rings. You will need a pretty long zip tie.
