how to make Glitter Pumpkins

Making glitter pumpkins takes less than an hour from start to finish! Here’s how:

  1. Tape off pumpkins.
  2. Paint bottom half of pumpkins and stem, apply a thin layer of decoupage over dry paint.
  3. Generously shake glitter dust over wet decoupage.
  4. Shake off excess glitter.
  5. Optional but recommended: Spray a coat of sealer over dust to prevent glitter from shedding.

How to Style Glitter Pumpkins

For a little more natural look, swap out the plastic stem for a stick from your yard. Paired with a vintage scale = instant texture! You can also glitter on real or wood pumpkins, the end result is all the same: darling! So, have we convinced YOU to glitter all of your pumpkins now? 🎃✨
