Duct Tape and Pumpkins!

My oldest daughter lives in the big city of Columbus,

 

She is a city-slicker!

 

So I wanted to make her a dignified pumpkin...

 

You can have carved pumpkins.....

Painted pumpkins.....

and.... glittered pumpkins

But she needed something... hmmm... city-fied!

 

So of course, I picked out duct tape (for my dignified pumpkin)....

 

and a matching duct sheet.

I cut out a letter C, for her name, and outlined it with a black sharpie.

Then, I made my strip of duct tape narrower

 and placed it around the bottom of the pumpkin.

Next, I  put on the letter C,

 

And made a black and orange bow to put on top.

Now, my city slicker child has a pumpkin worthy of Columbus.

 

There are soooo many different things that can be done to pumpkins.

 

I want to try drilling the holes in one so the candle light shines out.

 

What are some of your thoughts?

 

Let me know what you have tried.

 

Love,

Catrina
