I saw this pumpkin cutout on the Creative Arts Lifestyle website and had to have it. We raise giant pump- kins; I grew a world champion back in 2000, then in 2015 my husband beat my record with a 1,402 pounder! Our youngest son put himself through college raising giant and unusual pumpkins. So you might say I have a spe- cial place in my heart for them. In case you didn’t know, displaying a turquoise pumpkin for trick or treat means you are passing out healthy snacks!
PREPARATION
Using a palette knife, mix equal parts DecoArt Ameri- cana Multi-Purpose Sealer+Lamp (Ebony) Black (1:1) and paint the entire pumpkin, including the sides.
