Here’s another fun and easy project you just have to create! 😀🎃🍁
You don’t really need a lot of items to create this little cutie!
Recycle those tuna cans or any can you want to use!
I used the large size tuna can .
I absolutely love being able to create something special with leftover items and bring them back to life as something totally different and simply beautiful like this super cute pumpkin!
I’m sure you have all you need on hand so let’s create this cutie!
Supplies You’ll Need:
Empty Large Tuna can
Scissors
Hot glue
ribbon or material for your bow
Paint I used antique white, Brunt Umber, white and black I used acrylic paint on this project but as usual you can use chalk paint if you prefer!
Dixie Belle brown wax
Clear spray sealer
Wooden finial or what ever you want to use for the stem
I used a empty large can of Tuna .
Make sure you wash can and dry it out to get it ready to paint.
This is the color I used it has a little yellow tint to it .
I did mix a little cornstarch to my paint to give it a little texture to it.
I love this crackle rubber stamp I use it a lot!
This is what I used to give it that fun crackled look!
I used Black ink with my stamp .
I then free handed a face on my can .
I painted it black .
Once everything was dry I used my Dixie Belle wax in Brown to give it my favorite grunge look!
I used this fun little wooden finial for the stem.
I gave the spindle a wash of Brunt Umber .
I then hot glued it to my can.
I then gave the eyes, nose and mouth with white.
So cute!
I also gave it a few little dots too!
I used this moss for the top around the stem . I love using this moss!
Adorable! So quick and easy !
I had some wool strips leftover from an old project so it came in handy for a cute bow for the pumpkin!
I made just a simple loopy bow !
I love the colors it was perfect for this project!
When you are done you can give the can a light coat of clear stealer it’s up to you!
Here he is ! 😀❤️🎃
