All these items are easy to get you probably have most of them already!
I first draw out my pattern you can follow this one ... that is going to be your small pumpkins
I cut out about 50 for each pumpkin.
I then folded them in half to create a crease then I opened them up I
I then stapled each bunch of 50 in the middle !
It's so much easier then gluing each paper together. Now you should have 3 pumpkins made .
You can set your pumpkins aside and now paint your board I used this color green but again you can use whatever green you like .
I only did one coat .. I wanted the black of my chalkboard to show through a little...
Once it dried I took my round sponge brush and painted my dots with my white paint!
Super cute !
I set my board aside to dry and I then got my pumpkins and fluffed out each piece of paper to make it look like the pumpkin this part does take a little time but worth it when you are done ...
once I had them looking the way I wanted I went ahead and glued them on my board.
Once I did that I also glued my stems on .
I then added one more petal to the middle to cover my staple on each pumpkin..
then I lightly brushed orange paint on the edge of each pumpkin ...
I then painted my frame white ..
Once the white was dry
I applied a coat of clear glue to the frame ...You can also use the white glue too ... either one will work .
I wanted that crackle look on my frame .
While the glue was still wet I applied a coat of this orange!
I love this color!
Make sure when you are applying paint over your glue you try to make your brush strokes go one way only so the glue doesn't mix with your paint ...
You want to try to leave the glue under your paint so when it starts to dry it will start forming those wonderful cracks !
I just love watching it do that crackling effect ! It never gets old!
I then embellished it the way I wanted ... with items I had on hand .
You can add Raffia or ribbons whatever you like !
I just love how this came out !
I hope you give it a try !
