monster monday {monogrammed pumpkin}

Last week I was over at A Law Student’s Journey participating in Kitty’s 

Guest Blogger Bonanza!!!  {Thanks for having me over, Kitty! It was so fun!!} 

Don’t forget to stop by LSJ for some more awesome guest!!!

{So if you missed this over there, I’m sharing it here today!}

 

So do you walk the aisles of Hobby Lobby looking for inspiration, too?  This is were I got the idea to make my own monogrammed pumpkin & have since seen a bunch around blogland, too! ;)

 

  So here’s my version. :)

 

 

Monogrammed Pumpkin Tutorial

 

 

 

It was super easy!

 

 

All you need is a nice round pumpkin & some vinyl lettering.

If you don't have a vinyl cutter, you could also use stickers or stencils & contact paper. 

{I think the stem makes the pumpkin!  Look at that stem! Perfect!}

 

 

I'll admit it wasn't easy getting vinyl to stick to a curved slightly bumpy pumpkin!

I ended up taking the B vinyl completely off the transfer paper and just slowly

working with it until it went on smoothly.  I did the same thing with the frame. 

Take your time.  Vinyl is pretty forgiving IF you take it nice & slow.

 

 

There you go!  All done! :)

The great thing is next week when it's time to carve this pumpkin,

the vinyl can easily be removed & we'll have a jack-o-lantern in it's place.

 

    Hope you are having a fa-boo-lous Monday!
