DIY // Glittered Pumpkins
I don't know about everyone else, but I have already been to the pumpkin patch about three times this season and every time I'm there, I grab a pumpkin. It's hilarious because I really don't need that many pumpkins. So, that being said, I decided to try and make all these pumpkins into something cool. Me and Christina styled them on a tie-dye tapestry which made it kind of whimsical and also earthy and fall-ish at the same time. Adding some glitter to a few pumpkins resulted in a look that was interesting and unique. Why not try and get a little creative with your autumn vignettes this season?

For the glittered pumpkins:
Supplies:
- Glass glitter
- mod podge
- paintbrush
Directions:
- More than anything, this project is about personal preference and experimenting, but I will tell you what I did. Paint the glue onto the pumpkin and then sprinkle with the glass glitter. The glass glitter really makes this craft stand out. You don't have to use it, but it's awesome. If you do use it, I recommend wearing gloves.
- Allow the pumpkins to dry before setting them out. I painted a single stripe around one pumpkin, covered a small one in the glitter, and then did sort of dipped effect on the other one. Like I said, it's mostly about personal preference so have fun and make something this weekend.
