Instructions
-
Gather your materials: A faux pumpkin, black and white photos, Mod Pog and a paint brush.
-
Print about 50 of your favorite photos in black and white on regular paper. All different sizes and cut them out.
-
Paint a thin layer of Mod Pog on the back of a photo then place on the top of the pumpkin. I started from top to bottom, no order, just went with an organic pattern.
-
Continue adding pictures on, layering from top to bottom until the entire pumpkin is covered. Embrace the crinkles Its decoupage so its supposed to have them and it gives it a cool rustic look!
-
Let it dry for an hour then paint a layer of Mod Pog over the entire pumpkin.
-
Let that dry for 2 hours and paint another layer. Continue to paint layers until you get the texture you like on the outside. I did 4 layers of Mod Pog. Enjoy!
