Items Needed:
- DecoArt Holographic Illusions 2oz - Magic Gold (DHG05-30)
- Faux Pumpkin
- Craft Knife
- Paintbrushes
- Floral Foam
- Faux Flowers
Instructions:
First, use a craft knife to carve off the top of the faux pumpkin.
Next, paint a base coat of Antique Gold on the bottom half of the pumpkin. You will need to paint 2-3 coats and let them dry completely.
Use a flat brush to apply the Holographic Illusions™ Magic Gold starting at the top of the gold paint. I decided to create a subtle ombre effect by applying a thicker coat up around the top and then lightly brushing it down towards the bottom. Apply 2 coats to get the desired look.
Add a block of floral foam to the inside of the pumpkin.
Cut faux flowers and add them to the floral foam to create a fall-inspired arrangement.
Paint a few additional smaller pumpkins the same way to add to your centerpiece.
I love the sparkle and shine this paint adds to a simple pumpkin to create a glammed up centerpiece for Thanksgiving.
