The Giving Pumpkin

Hey Y'all! Here is a fun way to use those carvable pumpkins that are sold at craft stores.
Who doesn't want a pumpkin candy dish this time of year?? I saw these carvable pumpkins at JoAnn's and wondered how I could use them in a different way.
This one is smaller than most and I thought it would be perfect for a candy dish. I just cut the top off (making a huge mess...) to make the lid.
Voila! A candy dish with a lid! In the shape of a pumpkin no less!!
Now, I just needed to paint it. Cue the chalk paint.
I added a tag to the front that I found at the dollar spot in Target. Oh that dollar spot gets me every time!
For this and tons more ideas, stop by my blog McCall Manor. I would love to connect with you there!

    How did you make the cut through the top diameter of the pumpkin so straight and true?

    Why did you paint chalk white? I think the orange is great. Would the enjoy attachment not show well without the chalk? Thanks Diana
