A Quick and Easy way to turn a Dollar Store wood cut out into a Plaid Pumpkin.

Directions:

• Paint the base of the pumpkin* with black acrylic paint.
• Cut a piece of orange and black plaid paper* slightly larger than the pumpkin shape.

• Insert the paper design side up into the Xyron Creative Station*.   Crank the handle to run the paper through the machine.  The Xyron Creative Station* adds complete adhesive covering to the back of the paper.  (You could also use a glue stick or liquid glue adhesive.)

• Adhere the black and orange buffalo plaid paper* onto the front of the pumpkin.
• Cut the excess paper from the inside and outside of the pumpkin using a craft knife and cutting mat.
• Use a sanding block or extra-fine sandpaper to smooth the edges of the cut paper.
• Use a black or dark gray marker to add color to the edges of the paper to cover the white core. 

Add to your Seasonal Décor and Enjoy!
