DIY Monogrammed and Polka Dot Pumpkins

I just love pumpkins.  After seeing some cute polka dot pumpkins on Pinterest, I decided to make my own.  

I got a Zing cutter this summer and it is great.  It will cut any design you can dream up.  The initial and polka dots are cut out of sticky-back vinyl.  Then I made a bow with wire ribbon and thin wire.  I hot glued the wire that I wrapped around the stem to make it stay.  Wala!  Classy pumpkin decor.

I made one for my classroom, my son's teacher, and a friend (who has the same last initial!).  Each one came out different, but fun.  Here are the results:

I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving next week!
