Elegant Monogrammed Pumpkin

I'm not a big fan of Halloween, especially when it comes to scary decorations, but I still like to have a festive home during this haunted holiday.!

In order to decorate for Halloween, without the gore, I tend to stick to elegant, black and white décor. These amazingly simple, monogrammed pumpkins fit my needs perfectly.  This one sits outside on my front porch, tucked into a cozy orange and white knitted throw. The pumpkin isn't real, I just purchased a black craft pumpkin at the craft store, but you could also paint a real pumpkin. Whether a craft pumpkin or a real one from the local pumpkin patch, they come in so many sizes and colors, the sky's the limit. Joy embroidered letters are also available in a variety of colors, sizes and fonts, so you can really personalize this project to match any décor. It's incredibly easy to create monogrammed pumpkins and there is very little mess or clean-up.

You will need:

• Craft pumpkin
• Joy® Letters: Large Script Monogram
• Craft glue or push pins

Instructions:

1. Clean surface of the pumpkin. 
2. Glue the monogram onto the pumpkin, or simply attach the monogram to the pumpkin with push pins! This gives you the option to use the pumpkin for another project.
