PRETTY CRAFTY PUMPKINS

You know when my little monsters were tiny monsters, we used to do all kinds of crazy things with pumpkins.... we've painted them, covered them in construction paper, plastic spiders and mice, glitter..... and even macaroni! But let me tell you.... you can't get any easier than this!

If you're looking for a pumpkin project to do with the kids, but you're not real crazy about using a knife to cut out and carve them, this is the project for you!

All you do is take your clean pumpkin, cut up pieces of masking tape, stick them on your pumpkin. Then spray paint (I think GLOSS would look best for this project) the pumpkin black. Let dry according to the label instructions, then peel off the masking tape.

Not only could you do a cool mosaic pattern, but you could make a funny Jack O' Lantern face, or a cut out letters to say BOO or TRICK OR TREAT!.... and the best part.....

Everyone will Ohhhhh and Aaaaahhhhh at your amazing craftiness!
