Painted Pumpkins

Cute Painted Mini Pumpkins

 I promised this post would be here tonight, and it is, just a little later than I had wished. This is another very simple project. Time to complete- 30 min. or so. I have been so busy with a sewing project, I have not been able to devote much time to my Halloween mantel decor. (Sewing project tutorial coming soon.)
I found these cute mini pumpkins at Walmart 5 for $4. I had all of the other painting supplies already. The black leaves on the grey pumpkin came from the Unearthly blooms tutorial, and the candle holders are from Turn Everyday Items Into Extravagant Halloween Decor.

Here is what you will need: (to make yours exactly like mine, but you can use your imagination and come up with other great designs)

• Mini pumpkins
• Black spraypaint
• Grey spraypaint
• Puffy paint- slick paint (what ever you call it)
• Black glossy paint (optional)
• Silver glitter paint
• Glitter
• Glue

Like I said, this is super easy and really needs little explanation.

  Pick your pumpkins

 Paint your pumpkins











This one looks shiny, but that is because it is still wet.

I painted a top coat of glossy... Because I like 'em shiny!

I also painted the grey one with silver glitter paint, the grey spray paint was a little primer greyish. (Sorry,  I for got to take pics of this, but I'm sure you get it)

I wanted this cool drizzle effect with the glitter, but I got this....

The glitter just kinda stuck to the whole top of the pumpkin. That's okay tho, I like it like this too.

Up next, the unpainted pumpkin.

I got my drizzle effect with my unpainted one

I think they turned out great perched on the painted glass.
