Glitter Pumpkins

This is an easy craft that will add a little sparkle to your holiday!

What you'll need:
-Mini pumpkin. (fake or real- mine are fake)
-Glitter (Your color choice)
-Mod Podge
-Paint brush






The how to:
-Pick your pumpkin.



-Paint a thick coat of Mod Podge all over your pumpkin.



-Place a paper plate or bowl under your pumpkin and pour glitter all over it. Fill in all white spots.


-Place pumpkin on wax paper and allow to dry.

-Touch up the bottom of pumpkin and any other exposed areas if needed.

This will dry clear and ensure the glitter will not flake off.

  1. Do real gourds or pumpkins keep if you do this to them or do they eventually rot?

  2. I think they will eventually rot. Go fake if you plan to keep it long term.
