Halloween is my all-time favorite holiday!



For this project, I used non-toxic washable glue because these are organic pumpkin-pie pumpkins and I intend to eat them! If you aren't planning on eating yours, feel free to use krazy or hot glue, which will set much faster.



The trick is to let the glue dry for a few minutes until it's tacky, then apply the trim.



Easy...

...pumpkin pie!




Happy Halloween!!
