Customizing options for your DIY Pumpkins

You can mix and match all aspects of your DIY pumpkins. For a fancier pumpkin, paint it or draw on it first and then add the vinyl face pieces. The sticker faces are perfect for all ages. Preschoolers and toddlers can have fun decorating a pumpkin without paint or carving tools. Use glitter vinyl for extra bling.

I hope you have fun decorating your pumpkins!
