Step-by-step instructions:
Glue the shells together. This forms the basic shape of your pumpkin. Let the glue dry completely.
Painting the pumpkin: As soon as the glue is dry, apply a layer of cream chalk to the entire surface of the connected shells. This creates a smooth, uniform basis. After the chalk color has dried, go through with orange acrylic paint to give your pumpkin this classic autumn color. End matt spray seal with a layer to protect the color and look at it a finished look.
Create the STEM: Take a toilet paper roll and cut it off to the desired trunk height. For additional robustness, fill the roll with a paper towel. Next, stick a small strip strip over the top of the tube. Then start with E6000 glue with the fastening of the rope around the roll, start at the top and wrap it all over until it is completely covered.
Attach the stem: center the stem on your pumpkin and attach it to E6000 glue and hot glue. This will ensure a strong grip.
Add an arc and leaves: Create a decorative sheet with the selected band. Attach it with a combination of E6000 glue and hot glue to the base of the stem. For an additional autumn contact, glue a few synthetic leaves and a small piece of straw tape on the back of the stem.
Leader: As soon as everything is glued, let your pumpkin sit undisturbed until the entire adhesive is completely dried.
