Directions
- Lay down cardboard or newspaper to shield your workspace from overspray.
- To preserve the stem's natural look, tightly wrap it with masking tape so no paint touches it.
- Turn plastic cups upside down on the protected surface and set a pumpkin on each upturned cup.
- Apply spray paint using quick, short bursts, sweeping your hand back and forth across the pumpkin until it's completely coated.
- Let the first layer dry fully, then add a second coat for thorough coverage.
- Wait until the second layer is fully dry before putting your copper pumpkins on display.
