Hello Kitty Pumpkin

Happy Hello Kitty Halloween!

Step 1 - Outline and white paint. While still wet, sprinkle white irridescent glitter!

Step 2 - Paint red bow and yellow nose. Add more glitter! Red and Gold!

Step 3 - Paint black eyes and whiskers. Add, you guesed it - black glitter!

Step 4- Pink paint around face and rest of pumpkin. Don't forget lots of pink glitter!!

---The glitter I used was from Art-C. Michael's had it on clearance for $2.49. (Hobby Lobby also carries them, too - around $5. Which is still a great deal considering the cool colors they have, and you can use that 40% coupon when it appears.) Three cute little .28 ounce cork-topped glass bottles with a twine string around the top. It is really designated for mixed media/ATC Artist Trading Cards, but the fine glitter worked just fine on a pumpkin! I originally bought them not only to ultimately use, but display a line of them all in a row for something pretty and sparkly to look at in my sewing room.

---The paints were Apple Barrel Gloss White 20621, Dandelion 20646, Real Red 20636 and Pink Blush 20631. The black was Folk Art Metallic Sequin Black 661.
