How about a fun and easy project to start this Halloween season?
A Glitter Pumpkin!
I used a dollar store pumpkin, mod podge and orange glitter.
It's pretty self explanatory. I just painted the mod podge onto a section of the pumpkin then poured glitter over the top. When one section was dry I moved onto another one. There were some holes where the glitter didn't stick or I didn't put it on thick enough, so I went back over the holes with more mod podge and glitter.
After it was dry I sprayed it with hairspray, thinking it would hold the glitter on. I'm not sure if it was necessary, but the glitter seams to be staying on pretty well.
Then I put it on top of a tall candle stick and there it is -an inexpensive and easy Halloween/Fall decoration! You can view all of the pumpkins in the picture here.

I love your glitter pumpkin. It's great. I did one with Martha Stewart's glitter paint.
Hope you can stop by.
