Coastal Anchor Pumpkin for Fall

I’m at it again with the CreativeBuzz girls!

This month our challenge was to create a pumpkin post. It could be anything that has to do with pumpkins.  So of course wanted to continue with my Fall coastal theme. My coastal Mod Podge pumpkins have been a major hit so I wanted to make another coastal theme pumpkin to go with my decor!

Getting Started

I rounded up some extra pumpkins I had (got the small ones at the Dollar Tree). I had to use my favorite Americana Decor chalk paint (wisper) and my “Handy Dandy” gold leaf pen.

TIME TO GET STARTED!! In my best Oprah voice.

Step 1 – Paint Your Pumpkins

I ended up having to paint three coats of chalk paint on the pumpkins. I let each coat dry 20 minutes.

Step 2 – Trace and Cut out Anchor

I could have used my Silhouette for this project BUT I already had a wooden anchor that was the perfect size. I pulled out a scrap piece of vinyl and traced out my anchor. Then I cut the anchor out!!

Super easy right?!!?

Step 3 – Add Your Vinyl Anchor

Next I added the anchor to the front of the pumpkin, making sure to press the edges down good.

Step 4 – Add Your Dots

I went around the entire anchor first with the gold leaf pen dotting the edges. After that I started adding my dots around the pumpkin.

I had a lot of fun with this part!!

Step 5 – Peel off Your Vinyl

Now it’s time to remove the vinyl and see your anchor!!

Step 6 – Finishing Touches

I think that the anchor pumpkin turned out pretty cool!! I added a couple smaller pumpkins to match.

Can I just say what an easy project this was to do. I already had all the supplies on hand, which it always great. See stocking up on craft supplies comes in handy!
