These blog land parties are a lot of fun. Sanctuary Arts is having a Pretty Your Pumpkin Party! I could not help but want to participate. It is making me want to go out and get more pumpkins to pretty. If I have time today I will and then I will post more pics.
I decoupaged these to go in my formal dining room. It fits the decor and I will post pics of how I decorated in there at a later date.
I posted pics of these pumpkins earlier but I have had a lot of people ask me how I did them. I just bought or had the fake pumpkins, acrylic paint, glaze, very fine glitter, and glass beads. On the orange one I just put a little khaki glaze over it and then painted with modge podge and sprinkle glitter and the beads. The white pumpkin I just used a brown glaze and did the same thing. The little pumpkin was orange so I painted the whole thing khaki and then used a darker brown glaze. I love the way they turned out! Very cheap project.

I love your leopard pumpkin and the other ones are so cute! Thanks for joining in on the party! I think using the glass beads is so clever!
LOVE the leopard pumpkin! I was going to do one in toile but ran out of pumpkins! Everyone has such good ideas, I think I may have to go get a few more (want to try your glass bead ones)!

I absolutely love that leopard pumpkin! And the little glass beads - wonderful effect!

Oooh, those beaded/glittered pumpkins are so pretty! I love the muted colors you used. Very nice. Love the leopard print too!

Hi,
All of them look great, but gotta love that leopard one!
Those pumpkins are so cute, especially the animal print one! I am so glad you left a comment on my blog so now I know about you! I have bookmarked you and will be visiting you often. Can't wait to see the finished kitchen. I'm sure you are ready to see it too!
As Charlie Brown says, "Great glitter pumpkin!" Well, if he didn't say that, he should have. With pumpkins this good, I can't wait to see your kitchen.
