2. Tap glitter over the glue.
3. Lift the tape roll up after the desired amount of glitter has been applied.
4. Clean up your polka-dot with a Q-tip.
5. 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.

[directions title=”Directions”]

1. Place your painter tape around the pumpkin, however high you want the gold gilding foil to go.
2. With a brush, apply a thin layer of gilding adhesive where you want the foil to stick.
3. 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!
4. Cut the foil into manageable pieces.
5. Apply the foil onto the adhesive.
6. Gently rub the back of the foil (the tissue paper side) to make sure the foil is pressed into the adhesive.
7. When ready, remove the tissue paper.
8. Apply a sealant over the foil to keep it all in place!
9. Optional: Attach a name tag to your gilded pumpkin to customize it for a dinner party.
