Pumpkin

This is the finished project of what I had posted earlier this morning that I was working on.  Isn't this pumpkin just the cutest!!
It's made with terracotta plant pots, paint, chennelle wire and felt.  It's really easy to create.  You start with a large terracotta plant pot with matching base.  You paint them both orange and glue the base onto the top of the plant pot.  Then paint a smaller terracotta plant pot brown and glue it upside down to the very top center.  Using a black paint marker add whatever pumpkin face you would like to add along with lines going down the pumpkin (all the way around). Finish the face by adding a few white lines for highlites using a white paint marker. Curl a green chennelle wire around a pencil and glue it into the hole in the top of the brown pot.  Cut 3 leaves from green felt and add vines with a black paint marker.  Glue them onto the top of the pumpkin. Using clear glitter paint, add glitter to the top of the pumpkin, stem and a little on the leaves. 

I am entering this pumpkin into the following challenges:
