- Tall Pumpkin
- Sharpie
- Pencil
- Computer/Phone/Tablet (Unless you can draw without looking at an example.)
- Ruler, if needed
Yep, that’s it!
INSTRUCTIONS
- Do an internet search for a monogram of your last name.
- Take your pumpkin and find the section you want to face front (“pretty” side).
- Find the middle and draw a dot so you know it will be centered.
- Looking at the image from the internet, draw a similar image, starting in the center and working your way out, onto the face of the pumpkin with a pencil.
- Make any corrections you need.
- Trace over the pencil with the Sharpie, color of your choosing.
This really is a fabulous way to add some oomph to your porch pumpkins in very little time and effort.

MONOGRAMMED PUMPKIN TIPS
- This monogrammed pumpkin can be done with a faux pumpkin or the real deal.
- If you want, you can use a stencil, like these, with some paint instead.
- Don’t like how it turned out? turn the pumpkin around and try it again.
Honestly, it may take a few more minutes, but not much. Very little time was spent searching for a monogram or getting this “perfect”.
