Glitter Frosted Pumpkin [TUTORIAL]
I was given 3 mini pumpkins (one for each member in our little family) as a gift last week and wanted to do something fun with them. Here’s what I came up with:
Supplies:
• Mini pumpkins
• Black acrylic paint
• Mod podge
• Black glitter
• Paint brush
STEP ONE | Paint the stems and around the base black (my pumpkins look a little sick here, they were perfectly orange last week but I think they’re getting too ripe)
STEP TWO | Apply a super thick coat of Mod Podge, encourage dripping by tipping the pumpkin until it runs.
STEP THREE | Dump glitter on the pumpkin, make sure to tip upside down to get the under side of the drips.
STEP FOUR | Let dry a few hours, wipe away excess glitter. Voila! Easy peasy.
They kind of remind me of frosted cake doughnuts… which reminds me of that pumpkin cake doughnut recipe I found on Pinterest that I want to try… time to bake! 🙂

Cute idea! I want to try this, maybe with yellow and white paint, as I'm making “candy corn” themed items this year. 🙂 New follower from Blog Walk!

Thanks, Kendra! I prefer the paint method too. I can't STAND the feeling of pumpkin guts. Blech!
That's such a good idea! And so much easier than carving! I think I'm going to pick up a few mini pumpkins and do the same. Thanks for inspiring me!
