Ella's pumkin CarriageStep by Step Guide:
1. Spray paint your pumkins. I used gold metallic for the smaller (wheels) pumpkins, and a Vanilla colored spray paint by Valspar for the large pumpkin. I chose the Vanilla instead of white because it had more definition and looked almost pearlescent when dry. Perfect!
2. Cut the top of your pumpkin and scoop out the contents.
3. Next, carve out a place for the doors and windows.
4. I took gold rick rack (the trim around the door) and glued it around the doors and windows, and put a jewel over the corners to hide where the seams were glued together.
5. Set your large pumkin on a brick or book about the height of your small pumpkins. I took a nail and used it to make my holes in the large and small pumpkins. I took small dowel rods and ran them through the holes I made in the large pumpkin and took the outside ends and inserted them into the small pumpkin holes. I also added a little bit of glue, to the holes in the small pumpkins to hold the wheels in place.
6. This is not something that likes to be moved around a lot, so make sure you find a base that you are going to use and decorate for pumpkin carriage to sit on.
I haven't had a chance yet, but I like the idea of making a few mice to sit around the pumpkin... like Cinderella's little mice helpers!! Vines would also be really cute draped around the pumpkin!
Hope you enjoy!! Have fun creating you very own!
Love and paintbrushes,
Heather
