Decoupaged Pumpkins

This isn’t a unique idea but there are so many variations, it’s easy, fun and so pretty.  I did decoupage pumpkins a few years ago but after seeing the cutest scrapbook paper at Canvas Corp…

I couldn’t resist doing another. There’s no such thing as too many pumpkins, right?

Supplies:  Faux pumpkin, scrapbook paper (Canvas Corp. has a beautiful selection), sheet music, book pages or newspaper and Deco Art Decoupage.

Apply Decoupage to pumpkin using a paint brush or foam brush.

Apply decorative ripped or cut up paper and coat with Decoupage again.

It goes on white and dries clear.

Embellish.

Pretty! Festive for my craft room…
