Ombre Pumpkins

Create a fun and stylish centerpiece display using only a few affordable supplies!

Supplies you will need:

Various size small pumpkins
Zibra Round Brush or Zibra Fan Brush
Acrylic paint - we used the following paint colors for our centerpiece, but feel free to get creative with your own color scheme.

Step 1: Start by laying out all of your pumpkins by how you want them to be displayed on your table. You'll then want to group to them into the colors you'll be using to create your Ombre effect, we used about 5-6 different colors that blended from one color to the next to create a very rich Fall look.

Step 2: Using your Zibra Round Brush or Zibra Fan Brush paint your pumpkins. We recommend painting the bottom side of the pumpkin first and laying it on it's side until the paint is dry, then when dried you can continue painting the rest of the pumpkin. Generously coat each pumpkin. You may need 2 coats of paint depending on how thick you apply the paint. Let dry between coats.

Step 3 (optional): Paint the stems of the pumpkin a nice metallic gold to add a finishing touch and elevate your beautiful display!

In this episode of Brush + Banter, hosts Annie and Lauren sit down with Caroline and Tianna, co-founders of Off the Walls Murals, to talk about what it really looks like to build a creative company together. And how to do it without sacrificing the friendship that started it all.

Brush + Banter Podcast Ep. 5 with Alyssa Vilardi of The Things We Built

Some of the most meaningful creative journeys don’t start with a big plan. They start with making the most with what you’ve got. Making do with a rental. Or limited tools. Or while kiddos nap.

Chalk & Brush

If you’ve ever wondered whether your style is really ready or if you’re still “figuring it out”, you’re not alone. Finding your creative voice isn’t a straight line. It’s a series of pivots, experiments and small wins that eventually start to add up.

and Lauren Hull

If there’s one universal truth about creative work, it’s this: things get messy before they get beautiful. Whether it’s a half-painted dresser or a mural that looks nothing like the sketch, every artist has had that “what have I done?!” moment.
