Instructions

  • Paint two coats of chalk paint on each pumpkin using the brush. Let dry between each.

  • Add Mod Podge to the areas that you plan to add Diamond Dust. Sprinkle the glitter directly on the wet Mod Podge (it will dry clear).
    I worked about 1/4 of the foam pumpkin at one time. You'll paint down the sections of the pumpkin and then move onto step 3.

  • Repeat until all areas of the pumpkin that you would like to accent are covered. Let pumpkins dry completely before displaying.

Notes

I had Matte Mod Podge in my supplies photo but I ended up changing it to Gloss Mod Podge to make the Diamond Dust area a little more shiny.
