It's that time of year. Everything is pumpkin flavored, and you're fighting your impulse to start wearing scarves in the 70 degree weather. To ring in the spookiest of months, we are creating Sparkly Pumpkins.
Mine will, of course, be in my sorority colors of royal purple and pure gold. You can always go in a SEC Football route if you're super into that whole sports-ball thing. Either way, this is a fun way to display the pride for your team or chapter for everyone in the neighborhood to see.
What you'll need:
- a FAKE pumpkin, size of your choosing. If you don't need it to last for long, feel free to get a real pumpkin, but this is a decoration that can be reused year after year. I recommend hitting up Michaels's Craft Store with a coupon.
- acrylic paint similar in color to your glitter of choice
- A lot of glitter. For my pumpkin, I will be using 1 color.
- Mod Podge
- 2 spongey paint brushes
- Hot glue gun
- 1 hot glue stick
- Newspaper to catch the massive amounts of glitter.
- Coordinating wide sparkly ribbon or tulle
Time: about 1 hour (including drying time)
Get ready to get glittery!
