Upcycling Pumpkins
Say goodbye to those tacky, orange pumpkins. It’s time to give them a makeover.
The old-fashioned pumpkin had a garish orange color and looked quite cheap.
We stripped away the old design by soaking it in a mixture of white vinegar and alcohol for 15 minutes, then sanding and wiping it clean. Once the pumpkin was dry, we painted it white and added segments with brown paint.
Finally, we glued on a twine rope and a black and white bow to complete the look.
Campers really loved the craft and were very happy to take pictures with their finished masterpiece!
