Create a basket riser for a pumpkin with this simple paint and stain technique + other creative ideas in this week's Home & Decor Encore.

We are finally experiencing a touch of fall-like weather with the 70s during the day and 50s at night. It's not exactly sweater weather, but I'll take it!

Baskets are such a great canvas for paint and stain. I took this plain apple basket and transformed it with a little paint.

Flip it over, and you've got a cute little riser to elevate your pumpkins. It's a great way to add a little texture to your displayed pumpkins.

You can read the how-to along with the supplies that I used in this basket painting post.

Each week, I come together with a few of my blogging friends to brings you creative ideas for your home from our archives. Welcome to this week's Home & Decor Encore.
