It is no secret that my blood runs orange. So, my first two projects were football related! For the Power T design, I just Googled an image of a Power T, printed it off, cut it out, and used it as a stencil. I traced the outside with a pencil then filled it in with white paint.
The second football-inspired pumpkin is a…FOOTBALL! I topped this one with some pumpkin burlap ribbon but it would be really cute to find some ribbon in your favorite football team colors to decorate the stem. I had to do several coats of brown and it still didn’t cover it completely but I just gave up because…no patience.
For my final pumpkin – two words: chalkboard paint. Basically you can make anything look trendy if you slap a little chalkboard paint on it! I love the versatility of this pumpkin. You can use it as a Halloween countdown, Thanksgiving countdown, or you could have a “thankful” pumpkin and have everyone write what they are thankful for. This one would look great on a porch or as a dinner table centerpiece! I applied two coats of the spray paint and let it dry outside for a couple of hours.
