How to Get an Aged Zinc Look on a Plastic Pumpkin
Last year I wanted to do something a little different in my Fall Decorating.
I still love all the colors of Fall…red, orange, brown but I wanted to had a touch of metal.
So, I figured out how to get an aged zinc look on my plastic Walmart pumpkins.
Metal finishes are still very trendy in how decor so this will be a great look to carry in to this season. I took plastic pumpkins from Walmart and gave them an Aged Zinc finish. Now the pumpkins have a high end look not cheap one.
