Turn a Plastic Pumpkin Into A Faux Pewter Centerpiece
One of my favorite techniques is to use paint to make inexpensive items look like pewter. It's surprisingly easy to do, and it works with glass, ceramic and plastic! I created a creepy Halloween centerpiece from a plastic pumpkin pail using this technique, and I love the end result!
Supplies:
Use a brush to apply black paint to the "folds" in the pumpkin. Remove most of the paint with a dry cloth. Repeat until the desired finish is achieved.
I added some floral stems, which I embellished with die cut paper flowers, a black bird, and doll parts. Creepy yet not gory, just the way I like my Halloween decor!
