Just*A*Pumpkin

Supplies:

Delta Ceramcoat Paint:
Black
Christmas green
Liquid Stain - Fruitwood

DecoArt's Americana Paint:
Burnt Orange

Raffia
green plaid material strip
8" long 22 gauge wire for hanging
Hot Glue
thick plywood


BEGIN:

Cut the pumpkin out of plywood (roughest side will be the front of your pumpkin). Drill a hole
large enough for your wire to go through in the top of the pumpkin stem.
Basecoat the rough side with 2 coats of Burnt Orange. Paint the top Christmas Green mixed
with a bit of black.
After paint dries, transfer the black pumpkin lines onto the pumpkin with carbon paper. Use the
black paint to draw the lines on the pumpkin, then use a little bit of water on a clean brush and
brush over the black lines you just drew (it will smear the lines a bit). Blot most of the paint off
the paintbrush and draw a line the width of the brush all around the pumpkin edges. Speckle the
pumpkin with black paint if desired using an old toothbrush.

Rub stain lightly on all surfaces.

ASSEMBLY:

Bend the wire in half to make a loop and insert the wire in the hole in the pumpkin stem. Tie
raffia on the wire and cut to desired length. Tie green plaid material above the raffia. I added a
couple of pieces of grapevine borrowed from a small wreath.
