Feathered Chalkboard Pumpkin Topiary

It wouldn't be halloween if I didn't create at least a few dollar store pumpkin makeovers, and this year is no exception.   Once I again I swung down to the dollar store, picked up some styrofoam pumpkins and masked the day-glo orange color with a fun redesign.

Since my pumpkin topiary a few years ago became a huge hit on Pinterest, I decided to do a new and more funky version this year.  Black and Orange and FEATHERED!!

The process was really similar to the first topiary:   I removed the stems from 2 of the 3 pumpkins and painted them with Rust-Oleum’s chalkboard paint.

It took two coats to get them completely black.Rustoleum chalkboard paint pumpkins
Once they were dry, I stacked them on a bamboo skewer and I used a glue gun to add an orange feather boa between each pumpkin.  There was one casually in this process.  My trusty glue gun came away looking like an exotic orange turkey: Glue gun casualty
But the final project was so darling:

I wrote “B - O - O” on the pumpkins, with a chalkboard marker.  To get the letters exactly where I wanted them, I first sketched them with pencil:

I added the pumpkins to an old cast iron urn I had, but I know you can buy inexpensive plastic versions that would work perfectly as well. Pumpkin and feather topiary
I love the bright orange and black color combo.
