Craft of the Day: Thanksgiving Pumpkin Centerpieces

What you will need:

Small pumpkins
Round headed pins ( multi-colored, pearl, or whatever colors you like)
Puff paint (White, or whatever color you like)
Tacky Glue
Glitter (White, or whatever color you like)

Once you have your small pumpkin, it is time to decorate it. Here are some easy ways to decorate your pumpkins:

Glamour Pin Pumpkin Centerpiece

1. You can take the round headed pin and stick it all the way into the pumpkin. You don't have to push all the pins in. You can create more dimension by not pushing the pins all the way in.
2. Then repeat with the same color pin or different color pins.
3. Have fun designing your pumpkin.

Puff Paint Centerpiece

1. Paint your pumpkin with puff paint. Have fun designing your Thanksgiving pumpkin.
2. You can also add the round headed pins into the pumpkin to add more flare to it.

Glitter Pumpkin Centerpieces

1. Take your tacky glue and start with your designs. I would only do a small part at a time.
2. Add glitter to your glue design.
3. You may also add round headed pins to add to your design.

Hope you enjoy this fun and easy craft!
