Chalk Paint Your Pumpkins
You can have stunningly beautiful pumpkins that will last forever. Paint your pumpkins with chalk paint. It dries quickly too. You can have your pumpkins painted in half the time of craft paint. And, a little paint goes a very long way.
Paint your pumpkins with chalk paint, just like you would furniture. Once they are dry, you can wax them with clear wax and then if you want, a little dark wax too. You can buff them just like your furniture to a beautiful shine.
You can add sparkles and gold accents to really make them stand out. I used a spray adhesive (outside) and then used white accents on the white pumpkin above. You can also add touches of color like the gold that I used below. It is a subtle touch but really makes your pumpkins stand out.
These pumpkins are beautiful and will add to the warmth of your home. Everyone that has walked into my home has asked about the pumpkins. Thinking they were expensive and from a home retailer. :)

These are foam pumpkins from a craft store. If orange you need to spray them with shellac and let dry then paint with chalk paint or craft paint
Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Are these real pumkins?
That was a dumb question I ask about "real pumpkins". Just not my day! Lol! I do wonder how and what you added sparkles to your pumpkins. I like the bling. I am just learning to do crafts. Will this chalk paint and sparkles work on ceramic as well? Thanks for your answers!
