Polka Dot Pumpkin

I pinned this idea on pinterest last year, but of course, never got around to trying it.  It looks easy enough though, right?   

So, I started with my pumpkin.  I put in in our yard so that I could occupy our kids at the same time. 

Next, I covered I placed round stickers all over it to make the polka dots.

So far so good!  I then spray painted the pumpkin black. 

And....the final reveal.....

 

So overall...from a distance, it doesn't look bad.  Upon closer inspection, you'll see my mistakes.  The stickers were not on well enough and it really could have used another coating of paint.  Oh well...lesson learned.  For someone who usually messes up every craft beyond recognition, I'm going to call this one a success.
