Instructions
- Start by printing our many thanks art (you can find it here) on standard printer paper.
- Add the carbon paper and the print to the front of your pumpkin and secure with tape.
- Use a pencil to trace the design. Remove the design and carbon paper. You will be left with an outline on your pumpkin that is ready for painting.
- Start going over the outline with your Elmer's Paint Pen. The best thing about using the paint pen is that painting this design is just like using a pen to trace a design. So simple yet it turns out gorgeous!
- I went over the words twice with the fine point paint pen. The vines were only painted once.
- The paint actually dries really quickly but make sure everything is dry before you continue.
