Mermaid Pumpkins

Materials:

Pumpkin (real or faux)
Fish scale stencil
Painter’s tape
Spray paint
Decorative items (faux flowers, shells, stick-on pearls, etc.)
Glitter
Glue

Instructions:
1. Spray paint the pumpkin. Allow to dry. You mat want to do 2 coats for an even color all around.
2. Secure the fish scale stencil to the pumpkin with painter’s tape. Spray paint over the stencil. Try to face the stencil from the same angle so the edges are as crisp as possible. Allow to dry. Place the stencil again to make more fish scales, lining it up with the ones you have already painted.
3. Decorate the pumpkin as you desire. Apply glue and glitter to the stem. Glue faux flowers and/or shells to the top. Attach stick-on flat-back pearls or rhinestones.
