johnson pumpkin

I made one of these guys last year and he came up missing. I am assuming it was some of the neighborhood kids. I made him again this season, hoping that he sticks around for awhile.

I bought a Funkin at Michaels. (Much cheaper than Joanns) I used letter stickers from Hobby Lobby (you could use any that you have) and used my tweezers to place the letters on the pumpkin. I always keep the top of the sticker letters "unadhered" so I am able to move them around easily. After I have decided on the placement that I like I Modge Podge with matte finish two or three times to help keep the letters in place and to make it weather proof so I can keep it outside. SUPER easy but so cute!

This is so stinking cute! I had a friend that used to have a ceramic pumpkin with their last name as the mouth of the jack-o-lantern's face... this is much cuter!!!
