I have had a few emails asking about my sparkly pumkins.
We made three of these green guys, and there were some important lessons learned. These pumpkins are small, but still 5lbs in size. So they are not the little tiny ones. THAT was a flaw from the beginning. The big pumpkins needed A LOT Of glitter, so keep that in mind.
Start by washing and drying your pumpkins. Paint the pumpkins with a base coat of color to match the glitter. Let dry completely.
In sections, brush a thin layer of all purpose white glue. We just used good old elmers school glue, and sprinkle with the glitter. Repear until the whole pumpkin is covered. I used an entire bottle of glitter for each of these pumpkins.
Paint the stem with black paint.
Does the glitter shed? YES… am I always a little sparkly? YES… do they look pretty cool? Heck YES!
Supplies: Glitter (Making Memories, Martha Stewart Crafts) Paint (Claudine Helmouth by Ranger) Glue (Elmers School Glue)
