DIY Lettered Pumpkins ๐ŸŽƒ

BY SHR

If you follow me on Instagram and watch my #instastories, this post will come as no surprise to you! Carving pumpkins is super fun but VEEERY messy. This year I decided to avoid the mess by lettering our pumpkins instead!

It was a lot cleaner than carving and about 50 times less work. After sharing a couple of pictures, I asked my lovely followers via #insastories if they wanted to give it a try. Most were into it so here we are!

The templates below are meant to be printed out and traced on your pumpkin using a good ol’ ball point pen. This will leave a slight indent of the wording on your pumpkin. PRESS VERY HARD on the design with your pens! I had to do it twice to get it work. Next, you take a sharpie ( theย industrial kindย will give you more shine but any will do) or a Molotow marker and “letter’ over what you traced. That’s it! You’ve got yourself a lettered pumpkin! How easy is that?

Update: Just tried it and it worked! Press VERY HARD with the ball point pen OR use a number two pencil with a DULL tip. ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—

Since it’s so late in the pumpkin season, I figured I shouldย  give you some non-Halloween options so you can keep your work of art around the house even after Tuesday. Ekk how is Halloween THIS Tuesday already? Intanity..

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tag me in any pumpkins you letter! I would LOOOOVE to see your works of art! Use the hashtag #ALittleTooCrafty and I’ll give you a shout-out in my stories!ย  If you’re into the idea of DIYs, maybe we can do some centerpieces for Thanksgiving table next? Let me know your thoughts! I’ll post stories of me lettering the pumpkins so you can see this at work later today. What do ya think? Only down side I can see with lettering vs carving pumpkins is no toasted pumpkin seeds.. ๐Ÿค—Happy crafting, my friends! Until next time..

Another week, another library trip ๐Ÿซถ๐ŸฝReally Another week, another library trip ๐Ÿซถ๐ŸฝReally excited about this weekโ€™s picks! 

๐Ÿ”ฅ Stella Never Gives Up by @andominguezzzz ft. a Latinx girl who wants to save the ocean while on vacation โ€” sound like anyone you know? ๐Ÿ˜‚โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ Chick is bound to love this series ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿฝ 

๐Ÿ”ฅ Anisaโ€™s International Day by @reemfaruqi centers Pakistani culture ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ as we follow Anisaโ€™s adventures introducing her culture to her classmates! 

๐Ÿ”ฅ The Lemonade Series grabbed Chick immediately! It humorously covers themes of sibling rivalry and conflict resolution. She was laughing out loud while reading this morning ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜

๐Ÿ”ฅ The Invincible Girls Series are shorter chapter books geared towards the 7-10 age group. Chick devours them in *literally* one sitting ๐Ÿฅฒ 

๐Ÿ”ฅ Say it Out Loud by @allisonvarnes is one we will try to read together as itโ€™s more advanced (and longer!). The main theme is bullying and the consequences of staying silent. It looks really interesting and has great reviews โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ 

She likely wonโ€™t read all of them - I never know what will grab her attention! โ€” but I loaded UP this week because most books are on the shorter side โค๏ธ
