Project: Monogram Button Pumpkin
What You Need
1 large pumpkin
glue gun or crazy glue
matching buttons
spay paint
A different take on a Halloween Pumpkin – no carving needed here! This way is no fuss, no muss (which I think means mess). Plus, it’s great for kiddos since you don’t have sharp knives to hassle with. Just glue.
Bella ready to help. Â Spray paint your pumpkin any colour you like and let it dry (overnight is best). Here I went with a dark theme, yet you could go any colour. Bright yellow, or blue. You could even get 3 pumpkins and spell out BOO!
With a nice dry pumpkin get out some buttons – with my dark theme, I’m sticking with dark grey and black buttons. No colour on this monogram button pumpkin.
I prearranged them so I would have an idea of what it would would look like. G is for our last name. Crazy glue or use a glue gun and stick them on and let it dry.
Place on the table or in a spooky place!
Just a tip – this pumpkin isn’t going to keep from year to year, obviously, since it’s a squash and a vegetable. It’ll rot. Also, I’ve used pumpkins to make soup after carving them, yet since I painted this one, I didn’t want to do that at all. Happy pumpkin-ing!
