Spray paint each pumpkin with COLORSHOT

Place your faux pumpkins a protective surface cover in a well-ventilated area and get ready to spray paint with COLORSHOT! Shake the can of spray paint for at least 1 minute before painting your pumpkins. Hold each pumpkin by its stem and rotate while spraying to get an even coat of paint. Apply 2-3 coats of paint, allowing the paint to dry to the touch between coats.

Once the spray painted pumpkins have dried completely, paint the stems with green acrylic paint. This extra step adds a more depth to your pumpkin wreath!

Add foliage to the wreath form

Heat up your hot glue gun and add foliage to the wreath form, gluing into place as needed. Oh Yay Studio used a black leaf garland for their pumpkin wreath, but you can also use autumn-colored leaves or moss for a more natural fall look.
