Directions
- Apply a base coat of white multi-surface craft paint to the entire pumpkin, using a paint brush. Depending on coverage, you may need two coats; a hair dryer can speed up drying between layers.
- Work on the pumpkin in small sections. Using a foam brush, spread a thin layer of decoupage medium onto a section, then tear a piece of tissue or decoupage paper and place it on the coated area. Immediately brush another coat of decoupage medium over the paper, smoothing out any wrinkles with your fingers. Repeat around the entire pumpkin, overlapping pieces as desired. Allow the pumpkin to dry completely, then apply a final overall coat of decoupage medium.
