Chalkboard Pumpkin

Chalkboard Pumpkin
I love decorating fake pumpkins. I wanted to try something new and fun for Thanksgiving that can be used every year. Here is how you can make a Chalkboard Pumpkin! 

You will need:
-a large fake pumpkin
-White and gold acrylic paint (or whatever colors you want)
-Gold glitter
-Glue
-Chalkboard spray paint(got mine for under $5 at Walmart)
-Masking tape

First I painted my pumpkin white and painted the stem and some fake leaves gold. Allow to dry. Then section off a square on the front of the pumpkin with the masking tape and cover the rest of the pumpkin with some paper so that you don't get any of the chalkboard paint on other areas. 

Then spray the area you sectioned off with the chalkboard spray paint and allow to dry. It actually dries very quickly. Remove the tape and paper. I then glued on some glitter around the edges as well as on the stem. I also glued the gold leaves I painted on the top with a hot glue gun. 

Then write whatever message you want with some chalk. A fun and easy craft for your Thanksgiving decor!

This is a fun Thanksgiving craft that is also a snack! Kids can help make this and it is great for them to snack on until Thanksgiving dinner is ready. You can also personalize by writing their name on it. 

You need:
-popcorn
- a paper bag
-white card stock paper
-Elmer's glue

Directions: 
Fill the paper bag with popcorn about half way. With some scissors just trim some length off the paper bag from the top to just shorten the bag a bit. 
With the white card stock paper draw a bone. Cut it out and glue at the top of the paper bag on the inside. The scrunch the paper together and glue to secure.

I love mini pumpkins! They are so cute, easy to work with and affordable. I always try to look for creative ways to decorate with mini pumpkins. With Thanksgiving approaching here are some easy ways to use mini pumpkins to dress up the Thanksgiving table. 

Candle: Purchase a long candle stick. Remove the mini pumpkin stem and then simply insert the candle. The pumpkins make for a very festive candle holder. 

Centerpiece: I purchased a glass cylinder at Walmart and simply placed the mini pumpkins inside. You can dress it up some more by adding acorns, leaves, pine cones etc..
