You'll need

Directions

  1. Apply Florida Orange paint to the bell portion of the wine glass using a sponge brush, then allow it to dry fully—this dries quickly.
  2. Use Van Dyke Brown Glaze to form the pumpkin's ridges and add any extra texture you like; after applying, dab it with a damp cloth.
  3. Combine Daisy Yellow paint with water to make a thin yellow wash. Brush it on where you want highlights, then blot with a damp cloth.
  4. Paint the wine glass stem with Evergreen paint for the pumpkin stem and let it dry completely.
  5. When the paint is dry, attach a piece of twine or a pipe cleaner to create curly vines.
  6. Use hot glue to attach artificial leaves to the glass.
  7. Place a candle on top of the glass, and your table decorations are ready!
