Pumpkin on a pedestal

This is the time of year when all those tacky Styrofoam pumpkins starting floating around.   I love fake pumpkins just now the ones that really look fake.   I had purchased a few of these really fake looking pumpkins at a yard sale over the summer.  I had plans of revamping them and making them look amazing!   I finally got around to getting one of these pumpkins made up in a classy Halloween style.

To get started you will need:

1 fake plastic pumpkin

1 Candlestick ( I purchased mine at the  dollar store)

paint

Modge Podge

glue sticks

glitter

ribbon

Step 1:  paint the stem of your pumpkin and Candlestick ( I chose gold) and let dry

Step 2:  Paint your pumpkin ( I chose black)  I used a fine tip brush to paint around the stem area.

 

Step 3:  This is the fun part  I used a circle sponge brush and stamped Polk a dots of Modge Podge around the entire pumpkin.

Step 4:  Add glitter to the designs you have painted in Modge podge

Step 5:  After you painted pumpkin is dry glue the pumpkin onto the candlestick using hot glue

Step 6:  Tie ribbon’s of your choice around the base of the candlestick

 

I am loving how classy this plastic pumpkin turned out.   I can’t wait to display it on my mantel this year.
