Well - I did it. I made myself sit down and make something this week. Actually, I made a few things. I've been missing my paint brushes, fabric and tulle (oh my!).
I hadn't painted pumpkins in a while. And I needed something to do last week with my kiddos for family night. You can see their pumpkins here (as part of my photography post at Brown Paper Packages). My porch this year is predominantly black and white, so this is what I came up with for my own this year:
The striped one was easy... I just followed the lines of the pumpkin. For the chevron pattern I actually used electrical tape. Trying to decide if I think it looks good that way or if I should paint the pattern. The polka dots are painted. And the damask pattern I found on google images. I printed it out and copied it onto the pumpkin. All 3 pumpkins took me about 30 minutes to finish. And I used craft paint, which dries quickly. So it was a fast project.
Here's the rest of my porch... tutorial for the wreath coming up in a few days!
{Just love my big ole spider!!!}
One more thing - there will be a great giveaway here Tuesday! Let's just say that if you have a little girl age 4-6 yrs. you are definitely going to want to enter!
See you then!
