I'm really getting bad at these titles. Sorry about that. :) But anyways I received a lot of comments and emails about the silver pumpkin. This one here, from this post.
Well this may be the worst and/or easiest tutorial ever. Take a pumpkin; preferably one from Michael's at 60% right now! This one here is a bigger one, he was 7.00ish the smaller one was 4.00 and tax.
Grab some silver spray paint- any will do. Take a sharpie and write whatever you wish, I preferred House of Czuk--Scribbly and not perfect-I'm cool with that; it looks kind of like something out of the Wizard of Oz doesn't it? No? Really? Huh.
Then add some witches brooms and polka dots. Easy peasy. Once everything is dried put about 17 coats of high gloss clear, this gives it the sheen. I love it- it's the one thing that everyone comments on when they come over.
Even with all drips, I love it. Remember Nester's Mantra "It doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful!"
Sorry about the lack of photos; I'm no pro at the tutorial game! Come back tomorrow for a front porch reveal, that is if the rain lets up! Night!

It really is cute and whimsical. I can see why it gets compliments. Great job. Sometimes the simplest of DIY projects are the cutest.

You are simply amazing! I found your link through A Soft Place to Land last week and have been addicted ever since. Hard to believe that so many different and absolutely wonderful blogs link up in one place every week.
I have so much to learn. :)

Cute pumpkin! I wish I could freehand like you but I would have to have a decal or something for mine to look as good!
That turned out so cute!

Sometimes to simple and easy things are the best. It just goes to show how anyone can make pretty & custom things for their home. I'm sure this tutorial gives people the confidence to do that!
So sweet!
