These are what the pumpkins looked like. Michaels has a whole array of awesome craft pumpkins in stores now. They come in lots of different sizes and colors…cream, black and original orange….so you can create a whole multitude of looks. And the best part is they never spoil! So you can paint them, carve them, glitterize them any time (like say August!) and they will last for months and years to come.
I am really into the gold color scheme these days and my first thought was that I wanted a cream and gold look for my pumpkins, how pretty and chic and perfect for Fall, right! I found the perfect shade of gold spray paint at Michaels, some pretty paper doilies in the cake decorating aisle, and then I fell head over heels in love with the awesome rolls of Martha Stewart’s new Decoupage papers as one set had the coolest gold cross-hatch design. All pure perfection for my idea to become reality. Here is how I made them…
This is the gold spray paint that I just fell in love with…it is the perfect shade of gold!!!
Spray your pumpkin all over (in a well ventilated area…outdoors is best!) and let dry for a few hours.
Once dry, take your doily and cut out the center of it.
Using the foam brush, mod podge the pumpkin in the area you would like your doily to be placed. Mod podge the wrong side of the doily too. Place the doily (mod podge side facing pumpkin!) onto the pumpkin and let dry.
Thanks for stopping by today!!
