How to do Chalk Couture Pumpkins on a Window

Fall is really in full swing now! The days are cooler and the leaves are changing here in Ohio. Today I am sharing another adorable fall project with you: how to do Chalk Couture pumpkins on your window. This project is so much simple and fun, I can’t wait for you to see it!

Don’t get me wrong, I love summer! But is there anything better than putting on that first comfy sweater for the year and having a warm mug of something tasty? I also really love crafting for fall. There are so many cute projects and amazing fall colors to choose from. In the video below I’m showing you how to do Chalk Couture pumpkins on a window and it’s sure to put us all in a fall mood. Our windows are often overlooked when it comes to decor but this project is a great way to incorporate an otherwise blank space. Say goodbye to the old window stickies and hello to high-end window dressings!

How to do Chalk Couture Pumpkins on a Window

Ok so I know you might be a little bit nervous about the thought of using paint on the glass of your windows. I am here to tell you, however, that this can absolutely be done safely! I have used Chalk Couture on my windows many times and am able to remove it after every season. I’m not saying that it wipes right off, it does need a little elbow grease, but it is so worth the clean up when you see the awesome results!

I also tried something new with this project. I used hot glue to attach some cute bows to my pumpkins. I know that some of you may be wary of this too. But, I promise, it worked great and popped right off when I switched designs! The first thing to remember when you do this is to only use the teeniest amount of glue. A little dab will do ya for this. Also, let the glue cool just a bit before you apply it to the window. Especially keep this in mind if the window is very cold. We don’t want any glass shattering!

For my window I used white paste because it fits with my kitchen decor. You can use any color, or combination of colors, that you want! You also don’t have to limit yourself to your kitchen window. This would look adorable on a front door, a bay window, a large mirror, etc. Basically any glass like surface that you have can easily be decorated using this method! And remember, the transfers that you use for this project can be used again and again. Simply wash and dry them then store them for next year.

Chalk Couture Pumpkin Supply List

• Pumpkin transfer sheets
• Chalk Couture paste in your choice of color(s)
• Sheet application squeegee
• Paste scraper
• Hot glue gun
• Ribbon in your choice of color(s)
• Hair dryer

Step by Step Instructions

• First make sure you window is clean and dry.
• Next, apply your transfer sheet to the window. It may take a few tries to get it right where you want it. Once you have it in place, use your application squeegee to smooth it out and remove any bubbles.

• Now open your paste and stir it up. If it needs to be thinned add a bit of water, you want it to be a creamy consistency. Watch the video to see how I do this. When the paste is the right consistency, scraper tool to scrape it onto the transfer sheet. Any excess can be put back into the container and used again.

• Next, remove your first transfer sheet and allow the paste to dry before moving on to the next one. You can use a hair dryer on low to medium to help speed this along.
• Continue the same process to apply as many pumpkins in as many colors as you like.
• Next, take your ribbon and cut enough to tie a small bow. Tie your bow and then dovetail the ends. Put a little tiny bit of hot glue on your bow, let it cool slightly, and then attach it to your pumpkin (see notes above and video for tips!). Repeat in as many spots as you like.

The Wrap Up!

And that’s it! This is a really simple but super fun fall decor project. The only problem is that, once you get started with Chalk Couture, it can be hard to stop. That’s okay though, there are so many available surfaces for this type of project. These transfers can be used on so many different surfaces. I really like using them on the windows because it is such a unique spot but you can use them any way you like. I hope you grab that hot mug of something tasty and have fun diving into this project!
