Add a little (or a lot) of bling to your Halloween decor with this super easy DIY Glittered Halloween Pumpkin. The pumpkin is painted and then sprinkled with copper glitter. Since the pumpkin is ceramic, you can make this project once and bring it out year after year. This glittered pumpkin would also look great as a centerpiece at your Thanksgiving table! Bling on Fall!
Squirt a generous amount of orange acrylic paint into a plastic paint palette. Use a sponge paint brush to apply the paint onto the middle sized ceramic pumpkin, and allow time for it to dry.
Use a flat bristled paint brush to apply a coat of metallic gold acrylic paint to the pumpkin stem, and allow time for it to dry.
Pour some Mod Podge® into a craft cup. Use a sponge paint brush to apply the Mod Podge® to a small section of the ceramic pumpkin. While the Mod Podge® is still wet, sprinkle copper glitter onto the pumpkin. Make sure that the Mod Podge® is fully covered in glitter and shake off the excess onto a scrap piece of paper. Continue applying the Mod Podge® and copper glitter working in sections, reusing the copper glitter that has built up on the scrap piece of paper. Allow time for the pumpkin to fully dry.
