Fall Garland with Mini Pumpkins

Directions

1. Start by covering the stems of your pumpkins with the gold paint pen. We used a medium tip and it provided quick and easy coverage.
2. Decide on your color palette and start painting your pumpkins. You may have to add several coats to get the coverage you need. Our black pumpkins only took one coat but the pink and white ones needed three.
3. Once all of the pumpkins have dried, add any patterns or embellishment that you like. We used a black paint pen to add a dash pattern on a few pumpkins.
4. Start tying your pumpkins onto the thread or twine to create your fall garland. Leave a tail of at least 8 inches on one end of thread and then double knot the thread around the stem of the first pumpkin. We nestled the thread underneath the stem so that it hides.
5. Keep adding pumpkins, being sure to keep them all equidistant from each other. Once you add all of your pumpkins, leave another 8 inch tail of thread on the opposite end of the garland
