Steps for Your Floral Monogrammed Pumpkin
- Find a letter in a simple font online.
- Use your printer and print out the letter. The size will depend on the pumpkin you choose.
- After printing, cut the letter to use as a stencil.
- Place tape on the back of the letter.
- Affix the letter to the surface of the pumpkin where you want your monogram to be.
- Use your pen or pencil to trace the letter onto your pumpkin. Don’t worry about getting a perfect edge, as flowers will cover it.
- After tracing, peel the letter off to reveal the outline of the letter.
- Next, pull the floral heads off the stems.
- Using the stenciled letter as a guide, begin to hot glue flowers onto the pumpkin. You may need to adjust the petals or glue some underneath to achieve a defined edge.
- Then, add a ribbon around your stem to enhance the look of your floral pumpkin. You can even make this coordinate with your decor.
