Hi again!

This year I wanted to try my hand at whimsical painted pumpkins for my porch.  I purchased a large orange pumpkin.  

I used black acrylic craft paint that I purchased at Michaels to achieve this look.  

For the orange and black polka dot pumpkin,  I used a lid from a container of glitter to trace a circle with a black marker.  Decide what size dots you want and look around the house for something you can use to trace the circle.  I then painted inside the circle with the black craft paint, let it dry and painted it a second coat.  Let it dry overnight and then spray a light coat of clear coat to protect the finish from the weather.  

That's it, easy and adorable don't you think?  Check back to see the other painted pumpkin idea I created.

Til next time,

Mary
