This tutorial shows how to transform inexpensive glass pumpkins from Dollar Tree into stylish farmhouse decorations. You'll use white chalk paint, black vinyl, and a Rae Dunn-style word SVG to create personalized accents. The process includes painting, cutting letters with a Cricut, and transferring vinyl for a clean, professional look.
You'll need
Directions
- Coat each glass pumpkin with white chalk paint and let them dry thoroughly.
- Load the SVG file into Cricut Design Space and choose the file.
- If you're not using all the words, separate the letters and pick which words to cut.
- Highlight every letter in the word you plan to cut, then group those letters.
- Scale the word to match your pumpkin; for a small Dollar Tree pumpkin, make letters 1 inch tall.
- Remove any unused words from the design.
- Use the weld function to combine the letters of each word.
- Cut the words from black vinyl and peel away the extra vinyl around each word.
- Apply transfer tape over each word, then move the vinyl to the front of the pumpkin, starting from the middle and smoothing outward to stick it down.
- Press each letter firmly against the pumpkin, then peel off the transfer tape.
