Polka Dot Thanksgiving Centerpiece


Hello, dear friends!
Hope the week is going well for you.
Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and I am enjoying sprucing up my home for the upcoming holiday.
So, I thought I will share with you my Thanksgiving centerpiece that I am planning to use on my buffet table.

Supplies needed:
Pumpkins of various sizes
Acrylic Metallic Gold paint
Sponge Brush
Round Stickers 


For the polka dot pumpkin, I borrowed some round stickers from my kids and placed them randomly on the surface of the pumpkin. Then, I applied two coats of gold metallic paint all over the pumpkin.. I let the paint dry overnight and peeled off the stickers from the pumpkin, and
 voila!


Love the way the polka dotted pumpkin turned out!

I removed the top of the bigger of the three pumpkins, painted it with the same metallic gold paint. Then, I used the painted pumpkin as a vase filled with silk florals. 
I like how the gold contrasts so beautifully with the autumn flowers!




The warm glow of candlelight creates a magical ambience 
and a perfect setting for an elegant dinner.


I am looking forward to using these painted pumpkins as a centerpiece on my buffet table.


Thanks for stopping by today!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs, Poppy

    I'm loving objects in metallic gold lately. That is such a cute idea to paint real pumpkins with paint and I love the polka dots too.
