DIY Pumpkin Face Decals
Today I’m joining a blog hop hosted by my friend Cindy at County Road 407 and we’re having a Pinterest Pumpkin Palooza. What’s a pinterest pumpkin palooza? It’s where you can get great ideas for pumpkin crafts from my uber talented blogging friends.
If you’re just coming over from Marty at At Stroll Thru Life, welcome! Her home is so classic and pretty and she always great decorating ideas.
Cindy has given us free reign to do whatever kind of pumpkin craft makes us happy and there are some wonderful ideas here today. All of them are at the bottom of this post and you’ll definitely want to check them out for some early fall inspiration.
For my craft, I got decided to do my version of a fun little trend I spotted on instagram over the past couple of weeks. I’ve seen one influencer cut out faces from vintage silver champagne buckets and one who added pumpkin face stickers instead of cutting the metal.
I went a little different direction and added some fun removeable black pumpkin face decals to a few of my vintage ironstone pitchers and copper pieces. I used my Cricut machine, but you could certainly make these without one. I’ve got a full tutorial at the bottom of the post for you.
Now let’s take a look at how they turned out! I think the vintage copper pot with the winking pumpkin face is my favorite. The shape and color really resembles a pumpkin, don’t you think?

The little hammered copper mugs are fun too. I’m ready for a Moscow mule after adding these to our antique hutch.
This adorable little face I added to a vintage white ironstone creamer makes me laugh every time I look at it. I don’t do scary Halloween decorations and only used happy pumpkin faces for this fun project.
And this goofy one looks like he’s trying to figure out what day it is. I can totally relate, lol.
Here’s the whole collection displayed in our old oak hutch. Aren’t they fun? I don’t usually do very many decorations for Halloween but am happy to have these to look at for the next few weeks. And when I’m ready to change the look all I have to do is peel these off since I made them removeable! Easy as pie.

Angie, these are so stinkin cute! I should get out my Cricut and make them right now. We have a bunch of copper pots too. The hitch looks awesome. Not scary, it cute and funny.
What a great idea, Angie! These temporary decals add such a fun and creative touch for Halloween!
Your directions start out:
“Add some whimsy to your decorative pitcher, pots, plates, and more with these adorable pumpkin face decals.”
I didn’t have on my glasses, and thought it said, add some whiskey to your decorative pitcher. Hahahahahahaha!!!!
I’m thinking adding whiskey into a pitcher that size may slow down the crafting! 😂😂😂
Hahaha! That’s hilarious! I can totally relate since I can’t read anything without my glasses. Yes, whiskey would definitely slow down my craft making and I wouldn’t care one bit what it looked like. 😄
Angie, these faces are soooo fun and they remind me so much of the old Kool-Aid pitcher
commercials! I love the copper pot w/ its winking eye!! I do have a Cricut and some vinyl. I need to try this. I just showed your creations to my MIL and she loved them, too.
Happy almost fall!
Haha! Now I see the Kool-Aid pitcher every time I look at these. Punchy the pumpkin! The copper one is my favorite too. This is a super simple project that only took about 20 minutes. Let me know if you try it! Happy almost fall to you too!
I love this cute idea. I have never thought about adding them temporarily. So fun.
Thanks, Rachel! I had seen the idea over on instagram but didn’t like the idea of permanent stickers. Hence the removeable vinyl. So simple!
I love the idea of using stickers to decorate with and not worrying about storing new stuff for fall and Halloween! So smart and super cute Angie!
I’m all in favor of having less to store, for sure. Thanks, Michelle!
If this isn’t the cutest way to decorate for Halloween, I don’t know what is! The decals on the copper pieces are adorable. Love them all. Thank you for joining us. I loved this post. pinned
Thank you so much, Cindy. They’re so fun. I tried a different pumpkin project where I painted one, but it just didn’t wow me. This one makes me smile every time I look at it. Thanks for hosting!
This is totally adorable, Angie! I’ve seen these stickers on silver too but it really pops against the white ironstone. I love quick and easy craft ideas like these especially during busy seasons. It feels fun and festive without a lot of extra time and that’s exactly what I need right now. Sending you hugs and hoping your Spooky Season is a fun one, CoCo
Thanks, CoCo. Quick and easy for the win! Hugs to you too! ❤️
These are so fun Angie, love how you’ve displayed them together in your hutch! Pinned
Thanks, Cindy! They’re so fun and simple to make. And styling the hutch for each season is one of my favorite things to do.
This is the cutest idea I’ve seen in a long time. I love how different they all are. Your china cabincabinet fill with all the pitchers with their decals is just the cutest. Love this idea.
Awww, thanks Marty! They were so much fun to make and so easy!
