Letterboard Pumpkins and fall decorating ideas!

Directions

1. Gather your supplies, which include a collection of letterboard characters in black and white, along with realistic-looking faux pumpkins that are designed to be carved.
2. If you want to add some color to your display, you can spray paint the characters before starting, though keeping them in their original black and white tones works just as well.
3. Decide how you want to secure the characters to the pumpkins. You can either push them directly into the pumpkin skin to leave a mark, or use a knife to carve shallow grooves where the letters will rest, making it simple to change the message later.
4. Arrange the characters on the pumpkins to spell out seasonal phrases such as 'Fall' or 'Halloween'.
5. For a different look, you can skip the letterboard characters and instead apply colorful letter stickers directly to the pumpkins.
6. To make a festive leaf garland, lay out your faux leaves on the felt sheets and cut around them to create your own fabric leaves in autumn shades.
7. Braid a length of chunky yarn to form a sturdy chain, then use hot glue to attach the cut felt leaves along the yarn.
8. Display your finished creations by hanging the leaf garland and a felt ball garland on your porch, alongside the decorated pumpkins and a small decorative hay bale for a complete autumn scene.
