Did you check out all the crafty craziness that was going on here last week for "Wicked Craft Week?" If not just remember Santa's watching you. For the rest of ya, do you remember Lindy of Itsy Bisty Paper's fab Dollar Store pumpkin makeover? Pretty swell, huh? One of my favorite things about crafty blog land (not to be confused with Rainbow Land) is the fact that you can give twenty peeps the same object and in the end there will be twenty different things you can do creatively with that object. Case in point.....the Dollar Store pumpkins. There are a ton of tutorials out there on all the nifty things you can do with these bad boys. Seriously, there are like five hundred and seventy five things to do with them and now I'm about to share number five hundred and seventy six. 
I happen to grab a few from my local store a couple weeks ago thinking I would use them in my front porch decor but after I got them home I decided I wanted to spruce them up with some spray paint and incorporate them in my living room instead.To spice things up a bit I decided to spray paint them three different colors; Krylon's Catalina Mist (of course! I seriously should be a spokesperson for this color!) Krylon's Dove White, and Urban Beige by Valspar. I just simply covered the pumpkin's stems with painter's tape and then went to town
I have a ton of this stuff left over from when I distressed my coffee table so I'm always on the lookout for ways to use some of it up. I just dabbed some on a paper towel and wiped it on my pumpkin, let it sit for a few seconds and then wiped it off. I applied it mostly to the creases of the pumpkin to make it appear more natural. I also used a small paint brush and painted some of the glaze on the stems to darken them up a little (I didn't wipe the glaze off them stems just let dry) That's it! Another way to makeover over a Dollar Store pumpkin.
