So put on your thinking caps and get out the scissors, Mod Podge, yarn, or paint and get crafty!
We’ve pulled together an amazing prize package and a panel of craft-lebrity judges to help us pick the winner in our pumpkin decorating contest! After submissions are over, your pumpkin will be judged by Kathy Cano-Murillo aka The Crafty Chica, Mark Montano, and Margot Potter, a Craft Wars alumni.
The judges will be picking the top 10 pumpkin designs and then YOU, our readers, will be choosing the winners. So be sure to check back and vote on your favorite or get your friends to vote if you’re in the finals!
