Painted Pumpkins!

One of my favorite things about fall is the decorating! This year instead of carving pumpkins, I PAINTED pumpkins! Here are two that I painted.

 The one on the left was spray painted first. Then i took painters tape and stuck it to the pumpkin and ripped it off to give the pumpkin a distressed look. I did this over the entire pumpkin. Next, i cut the top off about 1/4 of the way down , large enough for the mums to sit in and got all of the gook out. I then painted the polka dots. Last, i took saran wrap and placed in the bottom to keep the pumpkin away from the roots of the mums. 

For the pumpkin on the right i painted it solid gray, let it dry and the painted the green on top. After that paint dried i free handed the B and the quatrefoil design. You could draw that on first for a more clean, proportioned design. 

All you have to do after that is display and make the neighbors jealous!
