SUPPLIES
- parchment paper
- makeup sponge
- small soft brush
- wire rack
- Wooden Skewers
- wooden skewers
- plastic tablecloth
- faux pumpkins - white if possible
- aluminum foil pan
INSTRUCTIONS
- Choose multiple pumpkins in a variety of sizes. (TIP: use white faux pumpkins or base coat pumpkins white before pouring.) Cover your work surface with the plastic tablecloth. Position the wire rack in the aluminum pan and set aside.
- Using a makeup sponge, dab Americana Décor Metallic 24K Gold onto the stems. Allow to dry. Using a soft paintbrush, apply a second coat of gold paint to the stems.
- Place a pumpkin on the wire rack. While tilting the cup, pour layers of Jet Black and White Fluid Art Ready to Pour paints into a small disposable cup.
- Pour in a circular motion over the top of the pumpkin. Try other ways to apply paints onto the pumpkins. For example: Direct pour black and white around the top of a pumpkin or pour each color in a swirling motion onto the side of a pumpkin and move paint around.
- Place pumpkins on wooden skewers over freezer paper to dry. Allow to dry completely. Touch up stems with gold paint. Allow to dry. (TIP: Before removing pumpkin from wire rack, move the pumpkin several times so a big pool of paint doesn't dry to the bottom of the pumpkins.)
- Use these black, white, and gold pumpkins to create a simple chic autumn centerpiece.
