Directions
- Wrap a sheet of paper around the pumpkin to gauge the necessary dimensions. Fold the upper edge over the top curve to ensure it extends to the stem, and repeat this process at the base to cover the bottom completely. Trim the paper to the required size.
- Apply a light coat of Mod Podge Matte to the reverse side of the cut paper with a foam brush. Press the paper firmly onto the pumpkin surface. Make small cuts at the top and bottom edges to help the material lay flat without bunching up along the curves.
- Brush a final layer of Mod Podge Matte over the exterior of the paper and allow it to dry completely.
