Chalkboard paint on pumpkins?
Why not?
It makes perfect sense....
but, even more important....
Jack and Zack spent over an hour decorating their black pumpkins with chalk. They love the erasing as much as the chalking!
It's easy to do. Just tape off the stem and spray your pumpkins with
Spray a second coat within an hour.
Your pumpkins will be ready for chalk art in 24 hours.
Alexandra: I've only been Queen for a few minutes and I've already gotten a promotion!! Thank you!
Sharon - that's very cool I would never have thought of that - I'm surprised the paint would stick to the "skin".
What a fun and unique way to "paint" pumpkins Sharon. The best part is that if you make a mistake you could always just erase it and begin again.
Sharon, very clever idea. Black pumpkins look very elegant on the table. And for the kids it's a blast.
Sharon - this is SO cool! I've gotta go get some of this chalkboard paint so my granddaughter and I can have a pumpkin decorating party :)
Steve: The paint sticks fine...the kids have scratched some paint off, but not much.
Craig: The boys love to scribble on them and then erase and start over. I help them to make faces when they want to.
Anna: They look great on a mantle too!
Nancy: I'm sure she will love it! Enjoy!
Sharon, brilliant, this way they decorate and redecorate and decorate again, just like we like to do!
Kathy is right! You are the Queen of Halloween! What a cute idea for the boys. They work really well in your table arrangement too ;).
Joanna: Exactly! The gift that keeps on giving!
Valerie: Always a good choice...black is classic!
Janice: My boys had nothing to do with the table arrangement, LOL! I couldn't resist! Thanks!
Sharon - you are so creative - I think ideas must just OOZE out of you! You are literally DRIPPING with unique ideas! Wonderful!
Sharon, i am all over that! What a great idea! I love it here where everyone shares such great ideas! You are awesome!
Louise: Can't take credit for this one, but thank you! I found the idea online, on several other blogs.
Peg: I'm sure whatever pumpkin you decorate is original and very creative...hope you share some pictures.
Oh now that is a really cool idea Sharon! I love that! No school on Thursday and Friday,.. me tinks it is time to run to the hardware store.
Laura: You won't regret it! It's really fun to be able to draw and erase!
Debra: I don't bother with pumpkins outside...only the deer would see them, LOL!
Hi Sharon--okay that has to be the best idea I have seen in months. I know my grand kids are always so indecisive about what face to put on the pumpkins. This allows them unlimited creativity. Brilliant. I'm reposting to my FB page.
Hey, those are kind of cool. I never thought about getting a black pumpkin to decorate like that ....hmmm :)! Thanks for the idea!
Brenda: I love black and use it often for decorating....this is the first time I've had black pumpkins though.
