Pumpkin Mike Wazowski

Here is another DIY piece of Monsters University decor that tied the theme together with Halloween. My little sister and I made Mike Wazowski out of a pumpkin.

For those of you that don't know Mike Wazowski is the little one eyed green guy that starred in Monsters Inc and Monsters University along with Sully the inspiration for my DIY piñata. You can find the post with detailed instructions here.

I started with yet another fake pumpkin that we purchased last year after the holiday season.

I then spray painted it with some left over spray paint that a friend had leftover from a previous project. I love free craft supplies! There was just the perfect amount to finish covering the whole pumpkin.

My sister then painted the face on the pumpkin. 

A simple and easy addition to our Monsters University Party decor. It is also a great addition to our Halloween decorations that we can use again and again every year.

DIY Pumpkin Decorating

I had some fun with my little sister today decorating pumpkins.

Glam Pumpkin

This pumpkin was fun and easy. These are stickers that have the stones already on them. It was so easy to just line them up and stick them on. I had to adjust them a few times to make sure it was just the way I wanted it, but it took less than 10 minutes.

Our second pumpkin was a different story. We got the idea from tumblr/pinterest. The original pin was deleted.

Here are the pictures of our masterpiece!

Colorful Crayon Pumpkin

We started by putting a bit of glue on the crayons and lining them up in the order we wanted. We placed it on a cardboard box to help with the mess and hit it with a hairdryer. It helped to have the diffuser on the the dryer so it wouldn't blow the crayons straight off of the pumpkin. We did have some blow off still anyways. We also found that we needed more crayons and kept adding more. If I were to do this again I would buy more crayons and have more of the same colors.

All in all I think it was a smashing success and yay these pumpkins can be used year after year. Love it!
