DIY Metallic Pumpkins

On a recent trip to the mall, my friend Jen and I were drooling over the festive fall decor in Pottery Barn. I love the look of the metallic pumpkins that adorn their perfectly set tables, but I don't love the price tag. As beautiful as the mercury glass pumpkins are, we knew we could come up with a solution that gave us the look we were going for without the hefty price tag. We bought foam filled pumpkins and squash from Hobby Lobby, the Dollar Tree, and Walmart  and a few cans of metallic spray paint (we used Krylon).

I accidentally chipped one, oops! Don't worry, you can't even tell now.

We spread them all out on a drop cloth and had a spray paint party. We ended up doing two coats on most of them; one all over coat, and one light touch up coat.

I couldn't be more excited about how these turned out. They may be my favorite Fall decor. They are definitely the least expensive!  This is a huge improvement over the fake orange color they were before. 

Thanks for stopping by!
