McVic of You Had Me At Scrap
I have sent you an email and will get your prize out to you as soon as I receive your address. Thanks to everybody who entered and remember, we will have a new giveaway starting on Monday, so be sure to stop by for your chance to win.Now for today's project, I have a pumpkin decoration to share with you. You could actually display this a couple of different ways, here are two options. I prefer the stacked look, but I made these for my mom and I think she is going to have them lined up.
I started out with 3 medium sized pumpkins and 1 smaller pumpkin from the Dollar Tree. These are plastic pumpkins, so we won't have to worry about replacing them next year. I used Krylon Almond Paint to coat these.
Once they were coated, I used glitter puffy paint to hand draw a spider web on one of the pumpkins and hot glued a small spider also from the Dollar Tree to the side of the web.
Next, I used teh Don Juan Cartridge to cut a stencil for my EEK letters and then traced them onto the front of each pumpkin. The sizes for the letters are: E: 1.06 wide x 2.06 high, second E: .88 wide x 1.71 high, and the K: 1.17 wide x 2.06 high.
Finally, I used Tulip slick black paint to fill them in and turned the pumpkins on their side to dry so the paint wouldn't run.
Once they are finished drying , they can be stacked or arranged however you like. :)
I am entering this into the following challenge:
