Directions
- Assemble needed supplies: work gloves, a sizable drop cloth, and sponge brushes.
- Transfer wood dye into a small craft dish for simpler dipping.
- Using a sponge brush, coat the bun feet with wood dye—be aware that the dye tends to spatter.
- Cut small circles from painter's tape and place them over the top center of each bun foot to mask the area where the stem will go.
- Take everything outside and set up a spray area; apply 2 to 3 light layers of glossy shellac to seal the color.
- Peel off the painter's tape circles.
- Attach vintage swag hooks to the tops of the bun feet with glue, creating the pumpkin stems.
