supplies needed:

- spray paint
- painter’s tape
- metal washers (optional)
how to make makeover dollar store pumpkins:
Remove tags from pumpkins and cover stems with painter’s tape.
Use spray paint to cover pumpkins in assorted colors. Warning – the gold paint (two different brands – I have a LOT of gold spray paint) seemed to eat away at the pumpkins…you can see if you look closely at the final photos. The non-gold colors worked like a dream!
Let dry and remove painter’s tape. If placing the pumpkins outside glue a metal washer to the bottom of each pumpkin to give it some weight.
Add to your Fall display and enjoy! Note: these have been sitting out on our front porch for over a week – it has rained the past two days and they still look fab!
