Last week when I showed you how I disguised all the flaws of our front entry with some colorful fall decor, you may have noticed the graffiti on my pumpkins.
In a few weeks’ time the kids will carve them for Halloween, but until then I couldn’t help but doodle on them a bit with my trusty old friend, the black Sharpie.
This is just about the easiest and quickest makeover I’ve ever given a pumpkin and I think these two look pretty cute by our doorstep.
There’s no end to what you can do with a Sharpie, is there? Here are a few more ideas for creating some autumnal magic with a big ol’ squash and your favorite permanent marker!
This might be my all time favorite…..the haunted house with carved out moon and windows! I cannot wait to do this for Halloween trick or treating!
I never cease to be amazed by how the simplest measures can make something a little more delightful.
I’m linking up to Kate’s Fall Crafts Party at Centsational Girl and hope you’ll join me there!
