Fall Project

Emmy and I made these snazzy glitter pumpkins a couple of weeks ago.  She was so excited as she loves to do projects.  I thought that this would be better than carving pumpkins since she's too young for carving just yet. 

These pumpkins bring sparkle to tables and serving areas-and they last far longer than jack-o'-lanterns.
To make one, use a medium-size paintbrush to spread a layer of white glue over the surface of a small pumpkin. Hold pumpkin over a paper plate or a sheet of newspaper to catch excess glitter. Sprinkle powder glitter over pumpkin.  Let dry for about one hour; shake off excess glitter. Coat stem with brown acrylic paint; let dry. Pumpkins will keep for months.
