You'll need

Paper mache pumpkin

White paint

Cricut machine

Mod Podge

Owl silhouette (search 'owl silhouette' in Cricut Design Space)

Black cardstock or adhesive vinyl (black and white)

Paintbrush

Directions

Coat your paper mache pumpkin entirely with white paint. Ensure the paint dries fully before proceeding.

Open Cricut Design Space, insert an owl silhouette onto the canvas, resize it to match your pumpkin, then select 'make it'. Cut the design from black cardstock or adhesive vinyl, then remove the excess material (weed).

Fix the owl silhouette onto the pumpkin using Mod Podge (or simply press on if using adhesive vinyl). Brush a thin coat of Mod Podge over the silhouette to protect it.
