~glittered pumpkins~

 Yes, it's that time of year.

Yesterday I had fun glittering and embellishing plain store bought orange plastic pumpkins.

Here are the steps:

1} remove stems

2} spray paint pumpkins silver

3} when dry, spray on adhesive

4} sprinkle on silver German glass glitter {or whatever you have on hand}

5} let dry

6} spray with varathane to protect the glitter and to keep it from falling off too easily

TIP: I did all this outside and used skewers from the kitchen poked into each pumpkin where the stem goes to hold them while I spray painted, glittered, etc. 

 Then comes the fun part.

I replaced the stems but added vintage velvet leaves that I took off an old hat.

If you don't have any, try cutting out a leaf shape from an old book and hot glue it into place.

I will be bringing these to Ruffles and Rust today along with 2 truckloads of new merchandise for fall!

Have a great day friends!
