I like painting pumpkins. It makes them last longer. My community, family and friends is sports crazy! So I thought no better sports team to cheer than our beloved Chicago Bears. 1. Sketch out your design on paper 2. Paint a coat of primer or gesso and let completely dry 3. Sketch your design on the pumpkin with a paint brush (pencil will scratch off the primer, and marker will show through). 4. Paint with color 5. Embellish with glitter and ribbons Ta-da!!!
