Apparently our owl pumpkin was expecting :). Â My five year old went to the pumpkin patch yesterday and brought home another little pumpkin that he insisted on decorating immediately. Â While standing in line at the grocery store, I was flipping through a Family Circle magazine and saw a similar idea to my candy corn pumpkin! Â They used white pumpkins and sunflower seeds to create the look. Â I loved the idea of a white pumpkin so we painted the little guy and hot glued on some sunflower seeds. Â So simple and so cute. Â Now my boys want a Daddy and another baby to complete the family. Â We’ll see…
Oh my those are cute!
this is so cute!
I love this idea! So cute, and now my kids won’t always be asking me if we can make scary jack-o-lanterns, now we will make cute creative ones!
What a cute idea!
This is such a cute idea! I don't do the halloween thing with my kids, but I do love fall pumpkins! Love the idea of having a jack-o-lantern without the scary!
I like the sunflower seeds even better than the candy corn! Just adorable…

Very cute. My kiddos are saying "can we do that?" – great idea.

Lame??? Hardly! It's awesome! Simple yet adorable!!
Hi Beth! I love the white pumpkin, he looks silver in the photo, he's all glammed out 🙂

Very sweet – I think the baby totally makes it 🙂
Love it!!!
That's suuuch a great idea! I'll have to try the sunflower seed one. I don't think I'll be able to buy a bag of candy corns without eating them all :).
Too cute! I was searching the wab last night for ideas. And came across a pumpkin that had half sunflower eyes and nuts for feet and a nose! lol It was cute! Have fun making your family of pumpkins! lol
Natalie,
Very cute idea! I have two daughters and I will have to try this out with them! Thanks!
I can hardly decide which one is cuter. (Although with my dislike for Candy Corn…Gasp!!!)I think I will be doing both. The white one is adorable. Great idea with the hot glue.
