DIY Glam Metallic Gold Jack-o-lantern

Fall, Halloween, Seasonal

This easy to make, DIY Glam Metallic Gold Jack-o-lantern is perfect for trick or treating or adding glam Halloween decor to your house.DIY Glam Metallic Jack-o-lantern

I originally planned to use my glam metallic jack-0-lantern to give treats to family and friends. (Did you see my BOO’ing video on Instagram?) But once I painted one pumpkin gold, my girls wanted to paint all the pumpkins gold!

Be sure to buy spray paint made for plastics, and clean the surface of your pumpkin before painting. If you are using the pumpkin for decor, you should have no problem with the paint chipping off. I would recommend roughing up the surface of the pumpkin with sandpaper for use trick-or-treating to ensure that the paint stays on the pumpkin.

That’s it! Just let your pumpkin dry, it will take less than 24 hours. You can add a second coat of spray paint if needed after 24 hours.Easy DIY Glam Metallic Jack-o-Lantern

    This is so cute! I know so many kids that would love to carry this around to collect candy instead of the traditional.
