DYI McKenzie Child inspired pumpkin

Have you seen the McKenzie Child pumpkins that are trending this year? I love how adorable they are and add a decorative touch to your home Halloween decor. However, I cannot afford the hefty price tag! So I set out to make my own. I started out purchasing a mini black foam pumpkin from Michaels.

Purchase a black or white pumpkin from Michaels.

I began by creating a checkered pattern on the pumpkin. I used an acrylic paint pen to create my pattern. After, I painted the squares in a black or white pattern. You can use paint pens or acrylic paint. You can however, use any colors you like.

When completed, use a gold paint pen or paint to paint the stem.

This is a fun craft you can create for a girls craft night or a family craft project. It is easy enough to create, I even had some mistakes and mine still turned out great! Display it in your home for Fall/Halloween after you are home.
