Halloween Framed Chalkboard Pumpkins

 
I have jumped the gun (I don’t know what that really means) and started making things for Halloween!  That’s OK.  I know I am not alone.
It’s such a fun holiday!  Who doesn’t love dressing up in costumes and eating candy??? 
This is so easy and fun to make!  You just need some chalkboard contact paper (Have I mentioned that I love this stuff?).  I used my Silhouette to cut out a pumpkin shape but you could print out a shape then trace it onto the contact paper and cut it out.  Then, just peel the liner away and place it onto the surface you want to stick it to.  I used the glass of this frame.  Smooth it down and use a credit card or squeegee to remove any bubbles.  Easy Peasy! 

I used three pumpkins but you could just make one and stick it right on the wall or on a board or even your front door.  This is an eye-catching display and you can just write on it with chalk to draw goofy jack-o-lantern faces or countdown the days until Halloween.  You could spell out a spooky word or write whatever you like. 


A little secret I have learned to writing with chalk is to always wet the chalk first.  It makes it show up so much better.  At first, it won’t look like it’s working then the writing will almost “magically” appear.
  
The kids saw it and got so excited! They were ready to start full-blown Halloween decorating. They (I) will have to wait until at least October 1st to be reasonable.  However, I have been known to be completely unreasonable at times.
