This project really is a simple and long lasting project.  These funkins {foam pumpkins} can be found at Michael’s.  I bought them when they were 50% off {which they are still now} so this large size was only $10.  {You can always sign up for Michael’s coupons and you can still buy them at a discount using the coupons even if they are not on sale…click HERE to sign up}.

What You Need…

1. Funkin {any size}

2. Pencil

3. Thumb Tacks {found at Menards for $.79 each pack of 40}

I used the cream Funkin in the largest size and ended up using 2 packages of the thumb tacks {I chose the Nickle finish}.  All I did was freehanded an “R” on the Funkin and then gently pressed the thumb tacks along my pencil lines.  You don’t have to press hard and you can take it out and reposition it if you get it in the wrong spot.

You could print out a design, letters, your address, etc. and have that be your design too.  All you would need to do is print your image, then scribble pencil along the lines of the design on the back of the paper and then use that as your mock carbon paper for tracing it onto the Funkin.  This technique was used in the block art {Natalie’s Bathroom} and also in the making of the signs for the cottage sale.  Photos are shown on how to do this technique on these tutorials.  I went with a simple monogram and it welcomes my guests to the Rohwer home.
