MATERIALS:

• Plastic Pumpkin
• Spray Paint
• Spray Adhesive
• Newspaper
• Glitter

Prepare Work Area

To begin, set down a layer of newspaper topped with a sheet of craft paper to protect the work surface. Then, select your pumpkin of various sizes and colors, and decide which ones will receive which color glitter.

Paint the Pumpkin

Next, take your pumpkin and slowly apply a thin layer of spray paint to cover the entirety of its surface. When it came time for me to execute my project, I chose primarily color of fall resemblance; though you can do whichever you desire. Wait for your paint to dry overnight before continuing.

Apply Adhesive and Glitter

Finally, spray the pumpkin thoroughly with a layer of your favorite glitter. For an added addition of fun, you can also place real glitter on your pumpkin as well! Taking your spray adhesive, apply one coat to the surface of your pumpkin. While the glue is still wet, use a spoon to sprinkle glitter over the sticky surface of the pumpkin. Allow to dry.

And there you have it! A wonderful decoration for kids that was simple, inexpensive, and a whole lot of fun. I hope that these adorable glitter bomb pumpkins kicked off your autumn season with a blast!
