DIY Pumpkin Polka Dot Wall Art

Happy Wednesday Friends! Today I am going to share with you a tutorial on how to make one of the projects from my Fun Fall Decor Ideas. 

You can find the original concept here.

What You Need:

• Canvas - This one is 8" x 10" but you could go larger or smaller
• Acrylic Paint: Orange, Brown, Green, Light Green
• Foam Paint Brushes in different sizes
• Ribbon of your choice - I went with an orange with white polka dots
• Pencil for sketching
• Hot glue gun to glue the ribbons on

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Step One: Draw your pumpkins on the canvas

Step Two: Paint the green in around the pumpkins.  If you paint the whole canvas green first, the pumpkins will turn out a little green rather than the orange you are hoping for.

Step Three: Paint the pumpkins orange and the stems brown.  I tried to texture my paint so it flowed with the shape of the pumpkin.  Once your green paint dries, take one of your bottles of acrylic paint and use the bottom of the bottle to make the circles on the light green paint.

Step Four: Paint your circle in with the dark green paint

Step Five: Cut your ribbons and make bows.  I cut my ribbon to about 5" in length then tied them in a knot.  Use your hot glue gun to clue the bows at the base of the pumpkin stems

And voila! You have a cute pumpkin painting for the Fall/Halloween.
