Make a Pottery Barn look-a-like. This rustic pumpkin is super easy to make!
Yield: 1 pumpkin
Cost: 15
Equipment
- Krylon looking glass spray paint
- Spray water bottle filled with water
- scissors
- Paper Towels
Materials
- 1 glass globe light cover
- ½ yard Raffia Ribbon
- 6 inch Wooden stick
- ½ yard rope or ribbon
- 1 battery-operated votive
Instructions
- Lightly and sporadically spray the inside of your glass globe light cover with the water from your spray bottle of water. Let dry a few minutes.
- Next take the Krylon looking glass spray paint, and spray the inside of the inside of the globe lightly. Let it drip dry.
- Take a dry paper towel and twist it up to fit inside the globe in order to ‘dab’ some of the excess wetness off of the inside edges of the globe. This also helps with the ‘mercury’ effect.
- Let the globe drip dry completely.
- Using the hot glue, glue the wooden stick to the top of the globe and hold until it stays in place.
- Glue or tie on some rope around the bottom and raffia ribbon and/or regular ribbon for embellishment on the top.
- Add a battery operated votive underneath the globe for added ambiance!
