Happy Jack-O-Lantern – DIY Your Own

Happy Jack-O-Lantern – DIY Your Own.   Now I am not into scary, but I do like to be part of the season, so a few years ago I did a fun tablescape using my Happy Jack-o-lantern, and it has become one of my most viewed and pinned posts ever.  Here is a repeat.

I can’t remember where this Jack-O-Lantern came from, it has been around for years and years.  With a candle inside it makes for a happy smiley face pumpkin.

 Orange and black is the theme.  I had a black piece of fabric, so I am using that as a tablecloth, some orange candles, votive dishes, flowers, and napkins and this is looking pretty Halloween.

 A simple place setting with an accent plate in black and white and a fun leaf plate just because.

Faux Dollar Tree corn and pumpkins were scattered around the table.  My Happy Jack is sitting in a ring of berries and sunflowers.

 

That’s it.  Nothing fancy but I think it is a lot of fun and I definitely like Jack’s happy grin.

I think you can create your own Happy Jack-O-Lantern with a real pumpkin.  Use a large pumpkin and carve out some triangle-shaped eyes and a nose.  Give him a happy smile with some chunky teeth.  Finish it all off by painting his teeth white.  Put a candle inside and turn out the lights and you will love your new pumpkin.

So do you go for scary or do you like happy?
