We’re going to do something a little different today
This is really more of a craft session,
in honor of all of you that think you aren’t artistic,
these are artistic crafts you can do!
We are going to jazz up some pumpkins, both real and faux!
I like to keep decor simple in November,
give my home a visual break from Halloween fun and Christmas chaos,
using white and gold
These golden pumpkins are perfect for transitioning from October
to Thanksgiving and the December holidays
You can use paint or gold leaf
I apply gold leaf with Mod Podge and a brush
It’s tricky stuff, so be prepared to let it do it’s own thing 😅
These “baby boo” mini white pumpkins have gold painted stems
A few have painted stripes and dots, and several have gold leaf
and one got a sprinkle of gold beads
I applied gold leaf on a few larger faux pumpkins too
All three got golden stems,
and 2 have painted gold stripes down their ridges
and one has gold leaf around the top
These mini golden pumpkins are so pretty paired with gold magnolia leaves
You can also make holiday glasses with gold leaf
see tutorial here
I encourage you to add some golden touches to part of your decor!
A few stripes and dots can take something from bland to beautiful!
If you’re not comfortable with a paint brush,
try a gold or silver paint pen to add dots and stripes
