Create a stacked pumpkin sign using velvet-covered pumpkins from Dollar Tree, black heat transfer vinyl, and a few simple tools. Customize with words like 'trick,' 'or,' and 'treat,' then glue them together and finish with a buffalo check bow.

You'll need

Directions

  1. Open the cut file in Design Space and resize the words so they fit on your pumpkins.
  2. Flip the image horizontally (or mirror the mat) so the vinyl will be oriented correctly.
  3. Cut the design from black heat transfer vinyl using your cutting machine.
  4. Weed away the excess vinyl, then separate each word. Position a word on the front of a pumpkin and use a Mini Press to bond the vinyl to the surface.
  5. Remove the stems from the pumpkins for 'or' and 'treat.' Hot glue those pumpkins together, stacking them securely.
  6. Tie a bow from buffalo check ribbon around the stem of the top pumpkin.
