Anyone else notice that terracotta pumpkins are super popular right now?! They seem to be everywhere–Pottery Barn has some super cute options. But they’re pricey! So the other day I set out to make my own and they turned out pretty darn cute. If you’ve ever wanted to make your own DIY terracotta pumpkins, this post is for you! I was able to make three in under 10 minutes.
I used styrofoam pumpkins from Dollar General for this project! But Amazon has some too. I first applied a coat of this terracotta paint.
Then while the paint was still wet, I applied basic flour with a paint brush. I just coated it all over the pumpkin. I worked in lines along the natural grooves of the pumpkin. Then I used a different paint brush and dusted off the excess! That was it.
Here’s how they turned out:
Not too shabby right?! I think they’re super cute and much more budget friendly than spending $30 on a terracotta pumpkin. I could have coated them with a sealer, but I didn’t do that.
I’d love to hear with you think of these easy DIY terracotta pumpkins!! And let me know if you give it a try this fall.
Thanks so much for stopping by the blog!
