If you're enjoying my Halloween posts, be sure to follow with GFC or
Facebook... I'm doing another 31 Days of Halloween series this year!
My two favorite things about fall: glitter and pumpkins. I even found a glitter in a color called 'pumpkin'. Wow.
For this simple project, you'll need some small pumpkins, glue, and glitter. I found baking pumpkins at the store, which was perfect for this project. I love when I pay by the pound... I'm not sure why though.
Drizzle some glue over the pumpkin.
Use a paintbrush or your own little hands to spread the glue all around the pumpkin in an even layer. Start sprinkling the glitter on the pumpkin. I know, really simple. I love simple.
Let your pumpkins dry.
Look how pretty they are! I love these little guys! Evidently, this glitter/glue thing makes the pumpkins last longer... so I'm hoping these will be good through November. Yes, I am a dreamer.
Two weeks until Halloween!

ReplyDeleteI came home from the beach to find my funkin on the porch. I can't wait to decorate it with Cate, hopefully on Thursday. Glitter was my first idea, so now I must find time to buy some. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteNow that's some fancy pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteThese are SOOO pretty! I love glitter!
ReplyDeleteThese glitter pumpkins are so pretty! Thanks for sharing them on our Fall Harvest Blog Hop and feel free to share any other cool, thrifty ideas.
ReplyDeleteGlitter makes things look so much better, huh? ;) I do love the idea and am wondering how much glitter you went through? Did the glitter go a long way?
ReplyDelete@Emily Wilson, the glitter goes a long way! The small bottles in the first picture were more than enough for each pumpkin!

I paint pumpkins every Halloween for sale (and for fun) and FYI a fresh pumpkin can last for months if the skin remains intact and it is kept in a cool, dry place. Making it from Halloween to Thanksgiving should be no problem. I seal my fresh painted pumpkins with a clear acrylic craft spray and I have seen these sealed pumpkins last for 9 or 10 months without going bad!
