I love pumpkins.
Today's post I want to share this technique I JUST learned about.
It's called 'Crayon drip pumpkins'.
Sounds pretty cool huh?
I think it is.
And so much fun for the kids too.
I came across this technique while searching for decorating ideas.
Pinterest is my fave place for ideas.
So what is a crayon drip pumpkin?

The color possibilities are endless!
How do you make a crayon drip pumpkin?
It's so simple.

1) Choose your pumpkin. White pumpkins give a canvas type effect and make the colors stand out more. You can use any color pumpkin you want though.

2) Choose what color crayons you want to use on your pumpkin. You can use any brand of crayon. Crayola has those color coordinated packs and glitter crayons as well if you want a little sparkle.

3) Take the paper off your crayons.
4) Glue the crayons onto the top of your pumpkin. You can use basically any kind of glue: elmers, tacky glue, E6000 and i've even seen hot glue. But it doesn't make sense to me to use a hot glue gun because the hair dryer will just melt the glue again.
5) Glue the crayons into the top of the pumpkin as shown below:

6) Use a hairdryer to melt the crayons. Melt to your desire.

7) Let the crayons cool and harden before moving.
BAM that's it! You've made a crayon drip pumpkin!
