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.
Paint the pumpkin stems with acrylic paint
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.
Place and glue the larger pumpkins onto your pumpkin wreath
Lay your spray painted pumpkins on the outer edge of the wreath before gluing to visualize the placement of each pumpkin on your autumn wreath. Begin gluing the pumpkins to the wreath, starting with the larger pumpkins.
Place and glue the smaller pumpkins onto your pumpkin wreath
Once your larger pumpkins have been glued onto the wreath, fill in the gaps with the smaller pumpkins. Keep similar colors clustered together for a more cohesive autumn wreath.
