Black Pumpkins!

To go with my sparkly pumpkins I made some black ones! Same process, except that this time I did something that I should have done with the sparkly ones. I primed them first! The paint stuck so much better and looks much more even all the way around.  Lesson learned, always prime stuff first! Anyways, so the steps are simple and the same as before.
  1. Buy cheap foam pumpkins
  2. Buy Primer (preferably one that is black) 
  3. Buy Black spray paint
  4. Put pumpkins on sticks in a box (or floral foam, the ground or whatever floats your boat)
  5. Prime first, spray black paint, seal with a clear coat. (sealer is optional, I chose to do it because I already had some from before and because I want these pumpkins to last)

 See how even the paint looks?!! I promise I'm done with pumpkins for a while. Thanksgiving crafts will be coming soon!
