To be clear, I am by no means a crafty person. If I can do this, you can too. I believe in you.

[title subtitle=”(You’ll need: glitter, glue and a roll of tape)”]Glitter Polka Dots à la Kate Spade[/title]
[directions title=”Directions”]
- Hold a roll of tape to your pumpkin. Dab glue in the negative space like so:
- Tap glitter over the glue.
- Lift the tape roll up after the desired amount of glitter has been applied.
- Clean up your polka-dot with a Q-tip.
- You may or may not find yourself a victim of the glitter ghost. Teeny tiny speckles of reflective particles may or may not be everywhere. My apologies in advance.

[title subtitle=”(You’ll need: gold gilding foil, gild adhesive, and painters tape)”]Micro Pumpkin[/title]
[directions title=”Directions”]
- Place your painter tape around the pumpkin, however high you want the gold gilding foil to go.
- With a brush, apply a thin layer of gilding adhesive where you want the foil to stick.
- Let the adhesive sit for 15-30 minutes. You can test the adhesive’s readiness by tapping it with your knuckles. If nothing sticks to your knuckles, you’re ready to go!
- Cut the foil into manageable pieces.
- Apply the foil onto the adhesive.
- Gently rub the back of the foil (the tissue paper side) to make sure the foil is pressed into the adhesive.
- When ready, remove the tissue paper.
- Apply a sealant over the foil to keep it all in place!
- Optional: Attach a name tag to your gilded pumpkin to customize it for a dinner party.
