I am in love with Gold for FALL.

And I love the way gold looks with my light family room.

I created a Grey and turqouoise Porch for Fall. I shared my Plaid Pumpkin and Ruffle Wreath yesterday.

And with my NEW dropcloth slipcovers that I just made, I wanted to create something really neutral for Fall that would go with my White and Grey Family Room!

So I took three carvable pumpkins and created something that would fit in to my neutral family room decor.

Here’s how I made my gold-toned geometric Pumpkins!

Supplies:

versa tool

Three Carvable Pumpkins

Gold Spray Paint

Paper

Mod Podge

Heat Knife

Gold Glitter

DecoArt Stencils

Directions:

I experimented with different ways to create the geometric look

I took the three pumpkins and used DecoArt’s new geometric stencils.

I traced the stencil patterns on paper

Then I cut out the stencils on paper and mod podged them onto the pumpkins

The next step was to cut the stencils on the pumpkins with the heat tool.

Once the patterns were cut into the pumpkins, I spray painted the pumpkin gold.

And the gold was a little intense, so I dry-brushed the pumpkins with some white DecoArt craft paint, to tone down the gold a little.

I added a couple LED tea lights inside of the pumpkins.

I just love seeing the graphic patterns all lit up for Fall!

 

I really love the way the pumpkins turned out!! 

 

Happy Fall!!

    I love this coffee table. Do you mind sharing where you got it? I would love a round coffee table distressed like this in my living room. Thank you.

    Hi… I was going through your blog (which is full of great ideas and tutorials) and I found this, and… I know you don’t mean to be, but… it’s kinda appropriative and sorta reinforces stereotypes about Native Americans and stuff. I feel it could have been called “geometric” or “line design” pumpkins, instead of “tribal”, without losing anything (unless these are carefully researched designs representing a particular group that you or someone in your household belongs to). So, speaking as someone concerned about race and media representation and things like that, it would be nice if posts with titles like this were reconsidered before they were put on the web where lots of well-meaning people will see and reblog them. Because, it’s a great idea. There’s just nothing “tribal” about these pumpkins, and we shouldn’t encourage people to think that way. So, if you could change the title to “geometric” or something like that, that would be really great. Thank you.

      Hi Jenn!!

      Thank you so much for your comment. I thought about what you said and totally agree. That wasn’t my intention at all. So I have changed the name of the post to Geometric like ou suggested. I really apppreciate you taking the time to let me know your thoughts and I am really grateful for that!!
