As seen on TV today, here is how to make a pumpkin centerpiece for fall!
These pumpkin centerpieces glam up any table top, and is the perfect addition to a fall dinner party decor, AND your thanksgiving table!
For this project you will need:
- A pumpkin
- glass vase that fits inside your pumpkin
- sharp knife
- Painters tape
- Scissors
- Spray paint (I chose gold for this project but you can choose any color you want!)
*KEEP IN MIND THAT PUMPKINS THAT ARE CUT AND SPRAYPAINTED HAVE A SHORT TERM LIFE SPAN
STEP 1
On a durable surface, using a sharp knife, cut a hole on the top of the pumpkin and scoop out the guts and seeds.
STEP 2
Clean the outside of the pumpkin and let dry.
STEP 3
Using the painters tape, create a design.
*for this design, I used scissors and cut out random 'dips' and formed it around the pumpkin. I then added more tape below the design to make sure the spray paint did not touch the lower part of the pumpkin.
STEP 4
Go outside and place the pumpkin on a flat surface (I used a piece of a large box). Spray the paint onto the pumpkin. Two coats might be needed.
Your pumpkin will look like this!
STEP 5
Now for the fun part! Once the paint dries SLOWELY peel the tape off.
STEP 6
Now you are ready to add your vase full of flowers!
ENJOY THE PUMPKINS ON A TABLE TOP OR FRONT PORCH!
And a friend will love one as a gift!
*to create the stripe on the pumpkin to the left, I spray painted it black, then when dry, holding the gold spray paint, I created vertical lines until I had the width I wanted.
