DIY vine pumpkin

I saw these at Target and I really liked them.

{Sorry it's so super pixelated- I could only save the thumbnail image.}

Then I forgot about them.  Then I was looking at a grapevine wreath in my craft supplies stash and I remembered them again. 
My version started out like this:

Yep, a pile of yard waste in my living room.  Don't mind my little campout on the couch in the background- I have walking pneumonia.  Yeah, it totally sucks. 
Anyway, all of that turned into this:

Quite a bit more rustic than the Target version, but I really like it.  It's still being held together with a lot of floral tape and a rubber band (the white thing around the top), but I hope I'll be able to take most of that off once it dries.
I'm not fooling myself, thinking it looks like a pumpkin, right?

**UPDATE**  

I've added the how-to for this on a separate blog post

***ANOTHER UPDATE***

I took all the floral tape and rubber bands off of the pumpkin and now I love it more than ever:

Now it's just being held together with a length of picture hanging wire around the middle- I twisted the ends of the wire with pliers so I could get it really tightly.  Then I took it outside because the light in my house was being crappy.  Don't you love all those little curly vines sticking out of it everywhere?  I do.
