My Pictures:
How did it go? This project was fun. To be completely honest I started with a pumpkin that I had drawn a face on last weekend and the smile was all messed up and crooked. I wanted to paint over it to basically have a "do-over". I took the original idea from this pin and just added my own touches. I of course painted the whole pumpkin black to cover the originally drawn face.
Second, I used a wooden letter "P" as a stencil. I just traced it onto the pumpkin with a pencil. Then I painted the P and the dots with acrylic paint. The original blog poster/pinner used stickers for her letters so her zebra stripes, polka dots and the lines of her initial were much cleaner than mine. I was trying to save money so I just painted mine on.
You can also see in the original picture that her ribbons were much bigger and fuller than mine. She was making a bunch of pumpkins to give as gifts. Since I was only making one I didn't want to spend a lot of money on pricey ribbon that I would have a lot leftover. Plus, Hobby Lobby didn't have a great selection of patterned, thick ribbon. I just got 4 kinds of ribbon (total of $12) and made do with what I had. Overall, they look a lot a like. Don't you think? I must say this finished project looks MUCH BETTER than my crooked, drawn on smiley-face. Happy Fall from the Pleasants!!!!!!
