Step
1

Apply Mod Podge® to a white painted faux pumpkin. I spray painted the pumpkins the night before. Apply Mod Podge® to sections of the pumpkin so it will not dry before you attach the tissue paper.

Allow the tissue paper to dry completely. Next, apply a thin coat of Mod Podge® using a foam brush. This will seal the tissue paper onto the pumpkin. Allow to dry before using as decor.
