This is a paper mache pumpkin that I altered and painted using acrylic paints. I used some of my favorite fall stamps dipping them lightly in paint rather than ink pads to embellish and add texture to the pumpkin.

Using a hot glue gun I secured some antique buttons, lace, ribbon and a tassel around the stem.

Walla...finished altered pumpkin...I made this last year and it is still one of my favorites. It is a very simple and quick project. I think it would be fun to add some jewels too!
