mod podge pumpkin!

The kiddos wanted to paint their pumpkins tonight!  I wanted to make one for my desk so I decided to mod podge some fun fabric on to my pumpkin.  Love it!!  How do you decorate your pumpkins?

My students made Jack-o-lantern Jars this week!  We used jelly mason jars and matte Mod Podge.  The kids had fun and I love that no two look the same!

I love a theme. Once a theme has been decided on, I stick to the theme....like glue!

So once the kiddos and I decided on a Halloween theme {they are Thing 1 & Thing 2 and I'm Cat in the Hat}, I began searching the internet for carving stencils to go with our theme. I came across an entire site devoted to cats and how to carve them into pumpkins, but no Cat in the Hat. So I made my own!

Here's how it looked on paper:{click to save or print to carve your own!}

The kiddos helped me gut our tested pumpkin and I gave it a shot. I had to reduce the original size by 10% to fit our pumpkin...some of the smaller pieces were a little rough!!

But....I think it turned out okay!!
