DIY: Gold Pumpkin and Squash Table Decor

Celebrating the Everyday, Liz's DIY  //  

Welcome back! DIY project #2 of the day is a super easy way to spruce up your Thanksgiving Dinner place settings. As we were out and about recently, we saw lots of stores with festive looking gold pumpkins and squash so we decided to create our own for our Thanksgiving Leftovers and Game Night Party.  With just a little gold spray paint you can create your own and liven up your table or home decor this Thanksgiving.

      • Mini pumpkins and squash from your local market. We got our’s at Whole Foods
      • Painter’s Tape
      • Metallic Gold Spray Paint (in the paint section at Lowe’s)
      • Elmer’s Glue (optional)
      • Glitter (optional)

Step One: Use blue painter’s tape to tape around the stems of the pumpkins and squash. 

Step Two: Spray all sides of the pumpkins and squash with gold spray paint and let dry. Remove tape once paint is dry.

Optional Step: With a small sponge brush paint a thin layer of glue on pumpkin’s and sprinkle on gold glitter to make your decor extra sparkly!
