Glitter Pumpkins


I loooove pumpkins, and I love when it is finally appropriate to have them around the house. I found these pumpkins, along with some autumn colored glitter at Joanna, and decided I just had to make some glitter covered pumpkins! 

This was a pretty simple project, although my kitchen floor and doggie were both covered in glitter be the end of it. I just Covered the pumpkins with glue and let it dry for about 1 minute and sprinkled glitter all over the pumpkins until they were covered. I let them dry overnight before putting them on my coffee table. 



Now that they are finished, I just have one little problem. My dog thinks they are her balls and she tries to grab them to play. 

Also, I can't decide if I should spray the with a clear sealer to keep the glitter from rubbing off. Any suggestions? 

Happy First Full Day of Fall, the best season of all!!

    I love anything covered in glitter and those pumpkins are fabulous! I would think if you're planning on using them again next year to definitely hit them with some sealer. It would be such a bummer to pull them out of storage next Fall and then have glitter bald spots! :)

    Hello! I came over from the pumpkin party and wanted to see how these turned out. I bought spray glitter and thought about trying it out. I haven't tried yet. About the litter falling off, you could always try mod podge or more glue.
