You'll need
Directions
- Use mercury glass pumpkins (like those from Wisteria or Pottery Barn) as the focal point.
- Give a ceramic pumpkin a chalky, aged white finish by blending Chalk Paint with flat white paint.
- Design a monogram on a computer, print it onto paper, then seal the paper and attach it to a pumpkin.
- Refresh a small foam black pumpkin with Fusion black flat paint or Patio Paints flat black for even coverage.
- Display the collection by placing the pumpkins on a silver serving tray that features mother-of-pearl inlay, set atop a black marble table.
- Incorporate burlap into the arrangement to create texture against the marble, white elements, and mercury glass.
