Here's a really cool pumpkin decorating idea I got from The Swede Records blog and hers turned out so much better than mine, but it was fun to do. A little messy, a little dangerous-- that's how I like to spend my Saturday night.
What you need:
A pumpkin (I used a fake one from Target)
Crayons (I got a 24 crayon box for 66 cents)
A lighter (a bbq lighter works best)
Just melt the crayon and let it drip over the pumpkin. Be careful no to splatter everywhere because melted crayon on your dining table is bad. Take it from me.
I didn't have a BBQ lighter so I had to improvise. The pocket lighter kept burning my thumb so I had to keep lighting matches. I eventually would let the paper of the crayons burn and let the crayon drip. If you choose this method, keep a bowl of water nearby because the paper can suddenly burn fast so you have to throw in the crayon into the bowl of water. Just go get yourself a BBQ lighter.
So it kind of looks like a bird crapped out a rainbow on the pumpkin... but I still think it's cool.
This is amazing. I love it!
