Chalkboard Hand Lettered Pumpkins

Decorate for fall with a twist with these chalkboard hand lettered pumpkins.

Fall is just the start of my most favorite time of year all the way through the first of the year. There is so much to celebrate and enjoy. Peppermint mocha coffee, peppermint sugar scrub, peppermint ice cream… I may love peppermint a little too much as it gets closer to Christmas.

I’m not much of a pumpkin spice girl except for the cream cheese pumpkin rolls. So today I’m going to bring out the pumpkins anyways and get you started decorating for Fall.

I love having different style pumpkins to use to decorate besides just the traditional jack-o-lanterns and what not. These chalkboard hand lettered pumpkins are perfect right now with all the hand lettering trends going on too.

Supplies:

• Artificial pumpkins
• Chalkboard spray paint
• Chalk or chalk markers

Spray the pumpkin with multiple coats according to the spray paint canister directions. *I recommend using the chalkboard spray paint instead of trying to paint them with a brush and chalkboard paint. This makes it so much easier.

Using chalk or a chalk marker, write and decorate your pumpkin how your heart desires. Try writing a phrase or a family monogram. I even just drew a swirl of designs on top of one similar to a vine.

I placed mine on the front porch with other pumpkins and flowers designed especially for Fall to take me right up to Thanksgiving!

Be sure to check out my Fall front porch decor as well for more ideas that won’t break the bank but will also look beautiful with these hand lettered pumpkins.

Enjoy this beautiful season of giving and love. I hope you can practice your hand lettering skills as well on this chalkboard pumpkin. It is definitely one of my favorites!
