A Pair of Junky Cloches

I'm sure you know by now just how much I enjoy rummaging through my cabinets, drawers, boxes, and random piles of junk I have stashed out in the garage. I also have an obsession with cloches, so when I come across something with the potential of becoming part of a cloche, I'm all smiles.

Junky Cloches Decorated for Fall
I turned a couple of fluted tin molds upside down, then glued a chippy black canister lid to one of them and a silver tray to the other. The cloches are aluminum light guard covers that I found at a flea market.  
~ I have the chalkboard lettering skills of a 2-year-old, but I'm happy to say that I do know my way around PicMonkey~

How to create a cloche from salvaged junk
I didn't want to overwhelm the junk with a lot of fussy embellishments, so I kept the decorating simple. Cloche #1 is decorated with some shredded paper, a small white pumpkin, and a little crow. For cloche #2, I printed out a pumpkin seed packet from The Graphics Fairy and stuck it inside an old flower frog, then I added some dried moss for color and texture.

repurposed trash to treasure cloches
I topped them off with a couple of vintage rhinestone buttons because every junky cloche needs a little sparkle.

DIY cloches made with salvaged junk fall decor
I think they'll be perfect just like this until after Thanksgiving, then I'll dress them up with some vintage Christmas treasures.
