Foiling Pumpkins

Time to decorate some pumpkins for the Holidays - I wanted something unique and fun - So, I decided to Foil my pumpkins!
Just pick up some "real" pumpkins for the pumpkin patch or your local grocery store and wipe them down.
Turn pumpkin on the side and paint the bottom first - blow dry so you can set the pumpkin upright and finish painting - I used Black Velvet by DIY Paints and didn't try to paint 100% coverage - allow some of the orange to show.
Once the paint has dried - you will need to apply one coat of the APS Foil Adhesive and allow it to dry to a firm tack (approx 15 to 45 minutes).
Time to transfer the Silver Foil - cut the foil into manageable pieces and crinkle the foil first.
Apply the Silver Foil to the "tacky" surface with the "shiny" side of foil facing up and rub the the foil to transfer to the pumpkin.
