Teal Pumpkin Ornament

"Halloween can be a scary time for kids with food allergies. That’s why, for the last several years, our house has been a “teal pumpkin” house. The Teal Pumpkin Project helps to identify houses that have non-candy treats available. I used to just print out a sign from the website and tape it to my door. One year, I decided to make a teal pumpkin ornament out of polymer clay instead. It was a hit! Learn how to make your own in this tutorial. "
