Fast and easy polkadot pumpkins!

Hey Y'all!

Have I mentioned that fall is my favorite? Cuz it really really is. Today I am excited to share with you how to make this really simple glittery polkadot pumpkin. It's the perfect way to decorate for fall in a quick and cheap way! And it turned out really cute!


So, first of all you're going to need a pumpkin.



Since I want mine to last, I didn't want to use a real pumpkin, so I went to Michaels and got this one. They have lot's of different sizes and shapes, and all of their fall decor is on sale right now!

Next, you'll need some paint-whatever color you want-and a circular sponge brush (also found at Michaels). I decided to go with a champagne color.



Once you've got those things, you're good to go! You're just going to dip your brush into the paint and start placing the dots on the pumpkin in any pattern you want.


(Note: It's best if you can get a small paintbrush as well to make the paint more smooth once you start putting the dots on your pumpkin. Otherwise you might have tiny air bubbles in your dots from the sponge.)


Then, you decide whether or not you want to add glitter! I decided to add it after I painted the first dot. You just pour a little bit of glitter over the wet paint to make sure it stays on the pumpkin.


The glitter can be any color you want as well! Go crazy!

Just repeat the dotting and glittering until you're happy with your pumpkin, let the paint dry and voila! You've got a fast and easy fall decoration!

If you're thinking "Ryleigh, that pumpkin is cute and all, but I just don't have time to make it." Or if you don't enjoy crafting as much as I do, I am absolutely willing to make one for you!

They're $7 while the sale is still happening at Michaels, any color, with or without glitter.

Happy crafting!
