Pretty Party Pumpkins



Party Pumpkins Craft...

This craft is utilized by decorating small pumpkins that you can use all through the Fall as a centerpiece. Fun and VERY easy to make. All you need is paint, glaze, and creative thinking.

The creative thinking is important, otherwise your pumpkins will be rather boring.

HAVE FUN !!!

DIRECTIONS

1. Use a foam brush to apply acrylic paint evenly over pumpkin.

2. While paint is still wet, run a rubber comb around the pumpkin. Start from the stem and work from top to bottom. As an alternative to painting and combing, use a broad-tip marker to draw spirals or dots on the pumpkins, or go a little wild by drawing random lines in contrasting colors.

3. When paint or ink is dry, spray with a polyurethane glaze as a protective finish.
