Pumpkin idea~

Some of you may remember this little pumpkin from last year, but I thought it was an idea that bears repeating! (I was reminded of this little project after seeing Layla's pretty pumpkin tutorial yesterday..and thought I should share it again.)



Yes, I love all things monogrammed...why should pumpkins be any different? And this one is so easy to make!

1. Get a pumpkin. I used a garden variety orange pumpkin for this project, but I think it would be stunning to use a white pumpkin and brown upholstery tacks.

2. Get yourself some upholstery tacks (easy to find and not very expensive at your local fabric store!)


3. Print out your monogram in a very large font on your computer.


4. At this point you could trace the monogram onto the pumpkin, but I think that is just making extra work. So I just placed the monogram over the pumpkin and started poking the upholstery tacks right through the paper into the pumpkin. When I was done I just pulled away the extra paper.



5. VOILA! Personalized squash...what could be better?
