I had seen some painted pumpkins on Apartment Therapy and thought it would be something fun and different to try over at our house.
I used some leftover spray paint and tape to get started.
I taped it up and spray painted away.
Peeled back the tape and got this! And while I was at it I thought I'd spray paint some other stuff around the house.
I also cooked up some Shrimp Etouffee to celebrate the cooler weather. (Sorry I didn't get to take a "pretty" picture, we were to busy digging in!)
How are you celebrating fall at your house?

I started putting up Halloween decorations about a week ago. My daughter and I went on a leaf hunt yesterday afternoon and picked up several handfulls of beautiful leaves in gold, rust, orange, and fiery red. We are going to preserve them in a water and glycerin solution, so that is the craft planned for this week. I will post on my blog.
Love that pumpkin! What a great idea..& so easy!
Very cool and simple project, great idea! Visiting via the CSI project :)

I love painting pumpkins! It's a tradition at my house that we practice every Halloween. I like the idea of using tape to get the design you want. How neat!
I really like your painted pumpkin. Great design. I saw you at CSI.
I love the stripes! I painted one for my porch with polka dots, but now you've made me think I need a striped one too. It's fun. Lisa~

The tape is a great way to add some decor to your pumpkin! I love this idea. I wish we could say that 80 degrees is cooler weather here! In some ways, I really miss Texas! (I used to live in Amarillo) Thanks for sharing!
