Evere year I like to create a little pumpkin projects. Last year I created fox pumpkins & this year I did something more graphic. I adore Kate Spade & two of her signature looks are the black & white stripe & polka dots. Who doesn't love a stripe & a polka dot? They're classic, timeless & a perfect touch of whimsy.

What Does The Fox Say Pumpkins

I know a sweet little girl who is currently obsessed with foxes & the "what does the fox say" song. She also loves all things cute & not scary for Halloween. So I thought I would surprise her with a pumpkin fox! Well, two foxes because I didn't know if she wanted a boy or girl. So...I created Farra & Felix Fox-the cutest fox pumpkins ever!

(Linked to The DIY Party, The Great Halloween Link-up, The Sunday Showcase, Show & Tell Saturday & Link Party Palooza)

They were so simple to make. Start with a couple pie pumpkins (I just liked the shape of these best, you can choose whatever type of pumpkin you like). Wash the pumpkins & dry thoroughly. I painted a base coat & a few more for good coverage. (Allow plenty of dry time in between coats).

Once the base coats dry, attach your fox felt ears. I used orange & white felt. I cut 2 sizes of ears with the orange being slightly bigger than the white. I glued the white ear onto the orange & attached the ears to the pumpkin with a small pin. I then painted the face on in a white heart shape.

I glued a small black Pom Pom on for the nose & drew the eyes & mouth on with a black sharpie. And viola, Felix the Fox was born!

For Farra, I added polka dot bows to her ears & a little sparkle blush with glitter & pink paint. Cause every girl loves a little sparkle!

I loved the way they turned out! Which is your favorite: Farra or Felix? And my kids want to know: what does the fox say?

Flame Pumpkins

It is still too warm in Arizona to sitting by the fire but I love the idea of these flamed pumpkins from BHG. Wouldn't they be fabulous piled up in the fireplace?
