¾ yd Black lace - http://bit.ly/2zpkRnu

Orange paint (optional)

Hot glue

Scissors

i n s t r u c t i o n s :

Since my pumpkin was white, i decided i wanted to paint it orange to get a base color. Skip this step if your pumpkin is already orange.

Cover the pumpkin with modge podge and then with the glitter. Let it dry completely.

Then, go over the entire pumpkin with the modge podge to seal it. Let that dry as well.

Set the pumpkin on the lace and cut a large circle around it

Find the middle of the circle, and snip it. Slide the stem through the hole, secure with hot glue if necessary.

Wrap the lace around to the bottom of the pumpkin and secure with hot glue. Trim the lace as necessary, as you want to keep the bottom as flat as possible

s u p p l i e s :

½ yd quilt batting - http://bit.ly/2yM7Lnb

¾ yd velvet - http://bit.ly/2yj9rUo

Small circular wood plaque - http://bit.ly/2yoKq9T

Stick for a stem

String

Hot glue

Scissors

i n s t r u c t i o n s :

Start by folding the batting in half and loosely rolling it up. Secure the ends with glue if necessary

Take the string and wrap it around the batting roll so it’s divided into fourths and tie it.

Take the wood plaque and insert it under the string on the bottom. This is so it will sit balanced on any surface.

Apply a large amount of glue to the center of the pumpkin and attach the stem.

Cut a loose circle on your velvet.

Attach the velvet to the batting roll. Start by securing it tightly along the lines of the sting. Then slowly work your way toward the middle on each side

Paint the pumpkin black

After the paint dries, apply modge podge or glue to the stem and then sprinkle the glitter on it to cover it.
