Fun with Pumpkins

Hey there!

I've been having fun getting the house ready for fall and stumbled across a great idea on Pinterest (of course) using craft pumpkins. I like to use them so I can enjoy our fun creations year after year. They are currently 40% off at Michaels and they have a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. 

My daughter and I bought some scrapbook paper, cut out shapes, and then used Mod-podge to glue the paper on the pumpkin (I chose the gloss version of Mod-podge which gives it a nice look). We then purchased Sharpie oil-based paint pens, also from Michaels (approx $3.99 each), and wrote our name, initials, messages, etc. on the pumpkins. We even added some nice bows to a few of them. I'd like to try using some fun tissue paper next and might use this as an idea for a "fall" teacher gift. The possibilities are endless!  

I hope this easy, quick craft inspires you to have a beautiful fall!
