Lighted Pumpkin Cube for Halloween

Here's another Fall craft for y'all!  It's a personal favorite of mine because its so easy :)

All you need is any size clear block with a hole in the back {I purchased mine from Hobby Lobby}, one pack of white Christmas lights, some pretty orange tulle from your favorite craft or fabric store, a small bottle of black paint, and a small paintbrush. Paint a cute or scary pumpkin face {or maybe even a monogram initial!} on the side of your clear block that does not have the hole in it.  Allow to dry. Stuff your lights inside using the hole in the back and then stuff the tulle inside.  You might have to do some adjusting to get the tulle around the lights the way you want it.  Plug in and enjoy :)

Monogrammed Pumpkins for Fall Decor

Fall is on the horizon and Halloween is approaching!

One of my favorite things about this time of year is Halloween craft night with my wonderful friends.

Last year, we did various projects but the one that turned out the best was monogrammed pumpkins!  They were the cutest Halloween decorations I've ever seen :)

All you need to do is pick a perfect pumpkin {say that 3 times fast!}, purchase a small bottle of paint and a bottle of spray paint in the colors of your choice from your local craft store, a round sponge in any size you want, a small paintbrush to do your letter with, and some ribbon to finish it off!

First, I spray painted my pumpkin a creamy white color.  After it dried, I lightly drew my letter in the center of the front of my pumpkin {pencil is a good choice for that!}.

Then I traced the letter in black paint and sponged on orange and black dots.  I tied an orange and white polka dot bow on top and success!  

It really is funny how proud I was of myself :)

Below is mine, up close, before I added the black polka dots to it.  I had to initiate some self control after the black dots and put the paint down before I ruined it!

I actually drew my letter on the pumpkin in pen before I painted it…seemed like a great idea until I remembered that you can't erase pen -_- {note the sneaky pen loop sticking out at the bottom}

I'm sure I'll be sharing some more Fall craftiness with you later this season!
