Are you over the faux orange pumpkins? I know I am. I gave my faux orange pumpkins a rustic look in just a few easy steps. And now they are fabulous!
All you need is faux orange (or whatever color you have) pumpkins, white spray paint, and brown (or any color you prefer) wax. You'll also need a rag.
Spray paint your faux pumpkins with white spray paint and allow to dry completely.
Liberally apply the wax (I used Deep Brown Americana Decor Creme Wax from Hobby Lobby) all over except the stems so you have something to hold on to. Then wipe the wax off with the rag. Wipe as much or as little as you want!
After the wax is dry, apply the wax to the stem to give it a more realistic look.
These rustic pumpkins look gorgeous with so many decor styles and really update the look of store bought faux pumpkins.
