Fall Decor: DIY Metallic Pumpkins, created by layering a few metallic paints, nothing fancy, to achieve an almost mercury glass look! So pretty!

I love pumpkins!

There I said it. Again.

I know, I know… I do say it a lot, and I’ve done quite a few pumpkin makeovers, but there’s just so many ways to decorate them. I just can’t help myself!

My latest pumpkin makeover?

These pretty green-blue metallic pumpkins!

Fall Decor: DIY Metallic Pumpkins, created by layering a few metallic paints, nothing fancy, to achieve an almost mercury glass look! So pretty!

What makes these different from all the other DIY metallic pumpkins out there?

  1. I layered several shades of metallic paint to create a rich, deep color, instead of using only one color.
  2. The pumpkins almost look like colored mercury glass!

I’m sharing the complete tutorial over at Deja Vue Designs!

    […] metallic pumpkins DIY by Pet Scribbles seems totally doable, and what an original color! Gotta love some aqua […]

Pet Scribbles is where I share my craft tutorials, home and garden projects, and occasional stories about my cats. I can never have enough pretty craft paints to work with, and I love to make things look time-worn with distressing and aging. Gardening is my therapy!
