DIY Concrete Pumpkins: A Step-by-Step Guide
Transform your faux pumpkins into stylish concrete pumpkins with the FolkArt Painted Finishes! Today, we're going to make DIY Concrete Pumpkins using this versatile product.
Here's what you'll need: - Fake pumpkins - FolkArt Shortie Brushes - FolkArt Brushed Metal Acrylic Paint in Rose Gold - A small paint brush - FolkArt Painted Finishes in Concrete (available in two colors: a light concrete color and a dark concrete color)
Let's get started!
First, pick your preferred concrete colour. For this tutorial, we'll be using the dark concrete paint. After blending it thoroughly, let the pumpkin dry completely.
Using the Shortie Brush, apply a base coat of light concrete paint to the pumpkin, dabbing the paint on rather than brushing. This will give a textured finish, just like real concrete.
Next, control the amount of dark concrete paint used and where it's applied. Mix the dark concrete paint with the light concrete paint if you want a more subtle concrete effect. While the light base coat is still wet, dab in a small amount of dark concrete paint.
Once the pumpkin is dry, paint the stem with FolkArt Brushed Metal Acrylic Paint in Rose Gold. Two coats may be needed to fully cover the stem.
FolkArt Painted Finishes can turn any surface into something that looks like concrete. With this technique, you can create a concrete effect using both colours, giving your pumpkins depth and a natural stone finish.
This method works on both plastic and real pumpkins and is perfect for creating elegant, modern fall or Halloween decorations. Some creators even stack multiple pumpkins painted this way for a high-end seasonal look.
So, why not give it a try? With the FolkArt Painted Finishes, you can easily create chic DIY fall decor that resembles stacked concrete pumpkins with subtle colour variation and texture. Happy crafting!
