Y’all. ? We southerners say it without thinking. In our opinion, it’s the only way of politely saying “hi!”. Well, to my surprise (and I am not really sure why), moving to the east coast has made finding what I thought was a typical go-to saying very hard to find, especially right now when it comes to cute fall decor. You know what I mean…all the cute little pre-made signs and home decor that adorn the aisles of every single store you walk through these days. You know…everything that is screaming “Oh. Em. Gee! It’s Fall!”. ?? I know I am in good company as I walk down these aisles, picking up fall scented candles and all things pumpkin spice. Yes. I’m that girl. But, what I could not find was something I thought would surely be somewhere across these aisles. I passed by all sorts of cute things that said “Happy Fall” or “Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice”. But, that wasn’t cutting it for me. I needed my southern roots sprinkled all over my home. But, I couldn’t find anything. ?
So, I returned home to later search the internet for all things “Y’all”. ?? Well, I did find tons of cute items after a quick Google search. But, then I got to thinking…?…wait…I love crafts. I can make this myself!
Let’s. Do. This!
To the craft store I went! Easy, right? Well, easy it was. ? All you need to make a DIY Calligraphy Pumpkin is a craft pumpkin (any size you want) from your local craft store (or you can find all kinds of sizes on Amazon, like this one – click here!). Second, you need a metallic paint pen in any color you want, a pencil, and a stencil or “inspiration” that you want to place onto your pumpkin.
I simply free handed my calligraphy letters, but you can easily print one out and trace it first with a pencil.
In less than 10 minutes, I had the cutest pumpkin! Yay!
Happy Fall Y’all! ?
What You Need
Pencil
“Happy Fall” Stencil or “Inspirational” Print-Out to Copy
Step by Step
1. First, trace with a pencil your calligraphy letters. You can either free hand (like I did), or cut it out like a stencil and trace it on.
2. Next, with your metallic paint pen of choice, begin tracing over your traced letters carefully. I did a few coatings. The first trace was a thin line. Then, I went back and made the letters a bit more bold, and extended the calligraphy swirls. Do your own thing. Nothing is wrong or right. Make it your own! 
3. Finally, let it dry and place somewhere cute! You’re done! That’s it! I told you it’s that easy!
This is soo cute! Pumpkin DIY projects are my favorite!
