I made these DIY Galvanized Pumpkins with dollar store pumpkins and paint. I love how they look with the other galvanized items that I am using this year.

It may be hot here, but I am in the mood to do some fall crafting!  I made these DIY Galvanized Pumpkins because I want to decorate my fall kitchen table with some galvanized items, and I want to put these galvanized pumpkins in my dough bowl.

I promise the dollar store is the best place to buy fall crafting supplies. The dollar store never disappoints!

When you are making something yourself, you can spend more on supplies than you would buy the item brand new, so I try to get my supplies as cheap as possible.  The whole point of DIY is spending less!

I was so excited to see these large styrofoam pumpkins at the dollar store.  I purchased three of them.

I spray painted the pumpkins black because I wanted a good base coat on them before I used my acrylic paint.  You could spray paint the pumpkins gray but all I had was black spray paint.

I pulled out all my gray paints and my metallic silver paints.  I used the medium color gray, but any color gray has worked for me.

I only applied one coat of gray because I wanted the paint to look dimensional instead of a solid color.

I dry brushed the metallic silver paint on the pumpkins.  Dry brush means that you dip your brush in the paint and you wipe off almost all of the paint so that your strokes will look soft.

I love how the DIY galvanized pumpkins look.  I have all my fall decor out of the attic and a few things already made so….. “Hurry up, fall”!

    Sherry they’re beautiful and would look lovely with all my decor or with anybody’s decor! I especially like the strokes and the rustic look with a bit of glam! Pumpkin season is upon us and I love it!

    Very fun technique and look, esp. if you don’t want the traditional orange color. You could keep this up all year round! Visiting from Funtastic Friday party.

    I saw those pumpkins today when I went to the dollar store. In fact, I went looking specifically for pumpkins to paint, but I wasn’t sure those would work. You made them look great!!!
