Believe it or not, we had our pumpkins displayed on our front porch well into December! Judging by the response on my FB page, I am not the only one! LOL! One of the commenters on the FB thread, suggested that I make Pumpkin Snowmen! GENIUS! {That way I can keep the (snowman)pumpkins on my front porch through January…maybe even February…assuming they don’t rot by then!} Now I call that getting my monies worth! :-) To make Pumpkin Snowmen, you need pumpkins and acrylic paint. While using a primer was suggested, we just used one coat of white acrylic paint and called it good! :-) 
After we got all the pumpkins painted, we let them dry for a day or so!
Once they were all dry, we used some black and orange acrylic paint to add some mouths and noses. Yes, those are recycled plastic lids for hats and a scrap piece of fabric for the scarf!
Our front porch has never looked so stinkin’ cute!
A big thank you to my FB friends for suggesting this awesome way to repurpose my leftover pumpkins! The original idea/inspiration for the Pumpkin Snowman came from here!
Oh my goodness, those little hats are killing me. I love them all! You guys did a great job with the pumpkins!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jade! We had fun making them!
ReplyDeleteAdorable!! I wish we still had our pumpkins. It was so warm here this year that they rotted before Halloween so we had to put out our plastic ones this year! These are just darling!
ReplyDeleteWhat a **BRILLIANT** idea!! I'm so going to make some of those if we don't get enough snow for real snowmen this winter :-)
