What To Do With a Rather Large Bun Foot - Make a Primitive Pumpkin!

One of my favorite persons to buy junk from is a guy named John.  He travels back to Kansas to his farm each year and brings a trailer load of  junk (treasures) tied every which way and that, to a local flea market.  My friend and I have a date every year to go visit John and hunt for treasures.  Well, I had an opportunity to visit John's home on the other side of the state recently.  He has barns full of these treasures!  I love to find junk and turn it into something cool....like the old window screens I posted about here.

Anyway, on part of my treasure hunt, John challenged me to come up with a use for these:


It is an old oak bun foot made for the bottom of furniture.  This one is about the size of a softball.

The immediate thing that came to mind (of course) was a pumpkin!  So here is what I came up with.  After painting the primitive scene, I attached some rusty leaf and wire garland along with a rustic nametag. 






So, this is what I came up with.  Can you think of any creative ways to use these old bun feet?

  8. You don't need any extra ideas...yours are fantastic! Love the beautifully, painted scene. The bun makes me think of a gourd. A pumpkin would've been my first choice, too!

  13. I like this, it's just plain pretty and Autumnal, and i love Autumn!

    my idea on what to do with one of those would be to saw off the top stem and make an egg for easter, or and i had some of these once... eggs painted black and white for "cow eggs" lol... or maybe a huge boccie hope i spelled that right, ball LOL.... good luck if you have more in making more cool things!
