DIY Jumbo Pumpkins

This month’s Michaels Maker challenge is all about pumpkins! Last year I showed many of you how to turn a pumpkin into a vase and this year I wanted something for my front porch.

You can find these pumpkins at Michaels in all different sizes and colors and I freaked out when I saw these ginormous ones this year! I grabbed them and knew I wanted to make DIY jumbo pumpkins!

SUPPLIES:Chalk Paint Pumpkin Tutorial

  • craft pumpkins in any size from Michaels
  • chalk paint
  • brushes

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Wipe pumpkin down with a clean cloth to make sure there isn’t any dust or residue.
  2. Start painting the pumpkin with the chalk paint color of your choice.
  3. Let completely dry between each coat. I used three coats per pumpkin.

Enjoy your new chalk pumpkins as a beautiful addition to your fall decor!

CRAFT TIP: Add polka dots, stripes, textures, or whatever your heart desires.

DIY Fall Ladder

I placed my pumpkins on my front porch along with this wooden ladder and fall arrows I made last year. Next project? I need a new fall wreath for my front door.
