I thought about making a garland out of the wood Dollar Tree pumpkins then realized they would make super cute place cards for Thanksgiving.

I used everything I had on hand, including bark from the woods, leftover paint from the painted plastic pumpkins I shared last week and metal tags that I previously bought from Michael's.

I tend to decorate with cooler tones rather than the traditional orange and red colors of fall, but you can paint your pumpkins whatever color best fits your style of decor.

- HOW TO MAKE PERSONALIZED PUMPKIN PLACE CARDS-

STEP ONE: Paint the front and back of each pumpkin with Celery chalk paint.

STEP TWO: Add depth to the pumpkins using Moss chalk paint, making sure to blend both colors together.

STEP THREE: Create stems by hot-gluing pieces of bark to the top of each pumpkin.
