Supplies:

  • Decorative Elements (I used paper glitter bats found at Michaels.)

Directions to make Name Pumpkin:

This is such a fun project that my daughter loved helping with. For her pumpkin she wanted her full name so I simply hand wrote her name with a Sharpie. Let me tell you, it’s not easy with the ridges of the pumpkins but I made it work. If you aren’t crazy about your handwriting you could always trace a font, to make it a bit easier.

Directions to make Glitter “M” pumpkin:

First hand trace your letter, it doesn’t have to be perfect, as you can tell by my photo. I used Heidi Swapp’s glue and glitter found at Michaels. My daughter started putting the glue on but it was drying pretty quickly so I took over and finished it up. Sprinkle the glitter over the glue and voila! A glittery, festive pumpkin!

Directions to make “R” Pumpkin:

I used Heidi Swapp’s thick washi tape I had left over from her darling marquee letters. The R was a little tricky, I just kept ripping pieces of tape to form the letter. Remember, it doesn’t have to be perfect as you can see here, because I added some tissue fringe over the center to help hide the imperfections 🙂 I found these adorable glittery bats on sale at Michaels for under a $2 and added them to the pumpkins with some glue. Lastly, we decorated the stems with burlap ribbon and twine.

    1. These are so cute! I personally hate the smell of raw pumpkin, so this would be the perfect way to add some festivity to our house!
