Dollar Store Pumpkin Upscale
I picked up these pumpkins even though they were not so attractive. Because, hey, who can beat a dollar? I took them home, and easily gave them a new look. Check out how I did it!
I started off by spraying each of them with a base coating. One green, one white, and one silver. (Tip: Don't spray it too close, or it'll melt the foam! I kind of melted one of mine.)
I decided that I'd use that one as the ugly pumpkin š¤£. They can't all be perfect!
I then brushed some white an black over the silver. It looks like cement which is super in right now! I then added some lines with lighter grey.
On to the green one! I used hot glue to add some green moss all over it. The last one I just kept white.
I then removed all of the stems. I added twine (you can also use a branch) to make the stem longer.
I then wrapped some twine around the green one to create the faux lines.
I then used some of these really cute dollar store leaves to add a sweet detail to the pumpkins.
Here are the set of three I made for $5 because I had the paint from past projects.. what do you think? See more at Gilbert Marketplace
