Print Project

Step 1

Paint a craft pumpkin with white multi-surface paint. Use multiple coats for best coverage. Let dry between coats.

Step 2

Add eyes and a mouth with a black Sharpie® marker (or a cutting machine).
TIP: If you have a Cricut® machine, click here for the design in Cricut® Design Space™. Use transfer tape to transfer the design to your pumpkin.

Step 3

Cut the stem on the pick of your sign shorter and push it into the top of the pumpkin.

Step 4

Make a cheer bow with ribbon. Determine how big you want your bow by holding your ribbon to the pumpkin. Cut to size. Fold ribbon overlapping in the middle. Wire together to keep in the bow shape. Fluff out the bow and trim the tails. Cut a small piece of ribbon and fold around the wire to cover. Hot glue to hold it together; then hot glue the bow to the top of your pumpkin ghost.
