Create a Gilded Fall Centerpiece

Autumn gourds and pumpkins create a classic canvas for a festive centerpiece.  Use metallic paint to pump up the glamour and you’ll create something inspired by nature and truly unique.

Create a Gilded Fall Centerpiece

  1. Pour paint into small, plastic drinking cups for easy set up and disposal. Lay out a drop cloth so you have room to paint and to lay out the pumpkins and gourds to dry.
  2. Paint directly on each pumpkin or gourd either in a decorative design or by covering the entire pumpkin. Small brushes give you better control over the paint,
  3. Let the paint dry. Then, turn the pumpkins or gourds over and paint the bottoms.
  4. Mix an array of pumpkin and gourd shapes, sizes and colors for a more visually creative and interesting display.
