Paint the ceramic pumpkin with a base coast of white paint.

Use painters tape or masking tape to tape off a vertical lines around the pumpkin. Use the gray paint to paint the vertical lines.

Once the paint dries remove, use the painters tape to tape off horizontal lines and then paint with the gray paint.

Remove all of the painters tape to reveal the checkered design and let the paint dry completely.

Using the black paint, paint the squares where the vertical and horizontal lines intersect.

Add a few cotton blossoms and ribbon to the pumpkin stem to create a rustic centerpiece for your Thanksgiving table.
