Instructions

- Once you have the shapes cut out, paint a layer of Vintage Decor Antique Sky.
- Paint the inside of the pumpkin with Martha Stewart Crafts Sweet Potato Paint.
- Once the layer of Antique Sky is dry, paint a coat of Vintage Decor Paint in Eucalyptus on top.
- While the Eucalyptus layer is drying, paint the stem of the pumpkin with Gray Wolf.
- Once the outer Eucalyptus layer has dried, lightly sand the surface to reveal some of the lighter color beneath.
- Apply Vintage Decor Clear Wax with a soft cloth to finish the pumpkin with a matte chalk finish.
