Carving + Decorating Pumpkins

As you know we had a fun pumpkin patch adventure last week, where we may or may not have gone a little overboard with pumpkin purchases. :) That’s besides the point. We had a lot of plans for how we wanted to decorate all of them or at least try to. So for today we have a few awesome ideas of how to decorate your pumpkins! Plus we just want to show off all of ours :)

6. Messy Pumpkin

Put a small amount of paint on the top of your pumpkin. Using a paint brush, cover the stem and then randomly brush the paint down the side. Its nice to see the messy brush texture.

Print out a letter, like your initial. Carefully cut out the letter with an x-acto knife. Using the the rest of the paper, trace the letter with a marker. Cover the letter with glue. Then with glitter!
