97th Power of Paint Party ~ Paper Pumpkin

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I came across a plastic, orange pumpkin at a garage sale last month. For 50 cents I grabbed it!

I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with it, since I was going with more neutral’s in my fall décor this year. (you can see my autumn mantel here)

When I saw Pottery Barn’s pretty brown pumpkins…

I knew I wanted to try to replicate their beauties.

Here’s my version…

“my brown paper packages tied up with string”

I just tore up a brown paper bag into small pieces, crumbed those pieces up and then decoupaged them onto my pumpkin.

Then I used some Burnt Umber & Espresso Brown acrylic paint to cover up the green stem.

So what have you been painting???
