Happy Halloween and Make It Monday Y’all!!
Hope everyone had a great weekend. For those who went trick or treating over the weekend hope the kiddos got lots of candy and had a fun time. Since it’s Halloween I decided I would make a few pumpkins. I’ve got three different ones so let’s get started…
Pumpkins
Things Used:
- 2 small pumpkins
- 1 large pumpkin
- Cricut Machine
- Design Space
- Cricut Mat
- Vinyl
- Transfer Paper
- “Find Dory” Pumpkin Carving Set
Pumpkin #1:
The first pumpkin here, I used a large foam carvable pumpkin I purchased from Target along with the “Finding Dory” Pumpkin Carving Kit. I basically just followed the instructions of the how-to in making the beluga whale character. Personally, I probably would not used one of these again. This carving set was for a kid and it was actually kinda hard to use. Now, I haven’t actually carved a pumpkin in many, many years but carving foam I would think would be easier than carving a pumpkin from a pumpkin patch. Maybe it was just the size of the tool, I don’t know. Just my personal option.
Pumpkin #2:
For this second pumpkin, I decided I wanted to make a beachy looking pumpkin. I purchased these small pumpkins from Michael’s Craft Store. Using my Cricut Explore to cut out the dolphin I drew myself in vinyl, I had it cut both layers, one in a teal color and the other in purple. After the Cricut Explore finished doing its thing, I used my transfer paper to carefully transfer the teal on top of the purple and then with them together onto my pumpkin.
Pumpkin #3:
Though it’s not “Write It Wednesday,” I figured I would go ahead and do this third pumpkin. For the third pumpkin, I also used my Cricut Explore and cut out a simple Happy Halloween using my personalized font “Crafty JBird” on vinyl. Once the Cricut finished cutting, I used the transfer paper and then placed it on my pumpkin.
There you go. Some cute pumpkins you could do quickly today or save for another Halloween. Hope you enjoyed!
