After going pumpkin picking on Sunday I sat down to make some fun decor pumpkins. The place card pumpkins are great for a small dinner party featuring some great fall foods (maybe some Butternut Squash Soup!) and friends. I got the idea for them from one of my favorites blogs. My way is a bit simpler and less expensive, all you need is some white and gold paint for a glittering pumpkin. With the larger pumpkins we picked up I painted them white, black, and silver for a more upscale front porch display.
What you need:
- White paint
- Gold paint
- Paint brushes
- Gold ribbon
- Cardboard tag
- Stamps or Sharpie
Instructions
Paint a layer of white onto the top half of the pumpkin including the stem. Let dry. Paint a layer of gold over the white. Let dry. Paint one more layer of gold onto the pumpkin. Let dry. While drying, cut a piece of ribbon for the bow. It can be any length depending on the size of your pumpkin. Stamp or write initials on the cardboard tag. Tie the ribbon around the stem on the pumpkin and add your tag.
