Method for painting your own pumpkin with Leaves
- Begin by carving your pumpkin, if you would like too. You can also leave your pumpkin uncarved.
- Next, paint your pumpkin with acrylic paint. You can do a solid color, or multiple colors and allow to dry completely.
- Once dry, take your Mod Podge and apply a thin layer on the pumpkin, and press your leaves on top.
- Apply a second layer of mod podge over your leaves. Repete this process until you have the desired amount of leaves on your pumpkin.
- Allow to dry completely and store outside, to help keep your pumpkin from rotting too early.
- Enjoy your painted pumpkin during the halloween season!
