Instructions
Select 3 - 5 small rocks that will stand by themselves. Broken rocks work well.
To prep the rocks for painting, wash with warm, soapy water and let dry.
Paint each rock with two coats of orange using a paintbrush. Let dry.
Mix one part orange to one part candy apple - this creates a dark orange. Paint stripes on each rock using a smaller detail brush.
Paint round black eyes and a black stripe for a mouth using the detail brush. Let dry.
Paint white dot pupils in each black eye using the smallest detail brush.
Paint white teeth underneath the black mouth line.
Attach tiny green pom-poms to the top of the dried pumpkin rocks using hot glue.

Notes
Tip: it's easy to make the dots in eyes using the end of a small paintbrush. Just dip the end of your paintbrush in the paint and use it to dot.
