Sorority Crafting Sundays: Sorority Sparkly Pumpkin

Turn on some Hocus Pocus, and let's get crafting!

1. Using paint that matches the color of your glitter, paint the entire pumpkin. The bottom is tricky, but make sure to paint that as well. We don't want our pumpkins tipping over and showing a naked bottom! Let dry. 

2. Cover your pumpkin in Mod Podge from every angle.

3. It's GLITTER time! Gently pour your glitter of choice over the entire pumpkin. Let dry. You may have to do this is sections, and don't forget the underbits of the pumpkin. 

4. Once the glitter has set, you'll know it is if you run your finger across the surface of the pumpkin and most of the glitter stays on, you will want to seal the glitter. Using your trusty Mod Podge, gently dab a light coat on top of the glitter, being careful to not knock off too much of the loose glitter. Let COMPLETELY dry. Plug in your glue gun.

5. While the sealant is drying, take your ribbon or tulle and fan fold it several times until you have a nice hefty amount in your hands. Tie a spare piece of your ribbon/tulle around the center of the stack, pinching it together as we have done in the previous Sorority Spirit Hairbow tutorial. Once it is cinched in the center and tied off, fluff the bow to your content. 

6. Using your hot glue gun, pile a generous amount of hot glue on the top of the stem of your pumpkin. Press the center of the bow into the glue and hold it there until it is cooled and dried. 

See? Super simple. However, you will now find glitter all over your living room for the next 12 months. Totally worth it for this cute and sassy little pumpkin.
