DIY Halloween “Preppy Pumpkin”

If you don’t want to carve your pumpkin or you have a fake pumpkin to decorate, here’s a great, simple, and very pretty idea that you can imitate and create your own version with different colors and words. Thanks to Pomp & Circumstance Events for the cute idea. All instructions below are for the pumpkin in the picture with all black decorations.

What You’ll Need:

• Pumpkin (real or fake in size of your choice)
• Ribbon (black or designed)
• Black paint (optional)
• Sharpie (black)
• Buttons (preferably black)
• Hot glue gun & extra sticks
• Scissors

Directions:

1. Write a word/phrase across your pumpkin of your choice. Write in size and design you want the letters to look.
2. Use hot glue gun to glue buttons on top of the word/phrase you wrote in marker. Try to get buttons as close together as possible.
3. (Optional) – Paint the stem black, then wait for paint to dry fully.
4. Cut ribbon the length of the pumpkin
5.  Tie ribbon in a bow around the stem and secure with hot glue.
