A pumpkin place card
10/11/2022
Create poetic place cards for
Thanksgiving with these little painted plaster pumpkins.
Materials :
- Difficulty: hard
- Time to make: 3 hours (excluding drying time)
In a container, prepare the plaster (1 part water to 3 parts
plaster) then mix
Place the plastic bag in a bowl and pour the plaster
mixture into it.
Close the bag with a knot, having removed all the air. Tightly wrap a piece of string around the pumpkin to create the distinctive shape in the plaster. Create 8 grooves in this way, using 4 pieces of string.
Once the plaster has
dried, cut the string and remove the plastic film, then lightly sand any
irregularities.
Paint the pumpkin,
first using the Gesso base
Then, paint it with a coat of Pébéo Studio Acrylics
buff titanium paint.
Finally, apply a
second coat of paint in a different colour (cadmium yellow).
Before the paint
dries completely, use a damp cloth to gently rub your pumpkin to give it a more
authentic effect
Apply a final coat of
varnish.
Cut a small piece of
thick string, measuring about 2 cm in length, and glue one end to prevent fraying.
Stick the other end into the hollow of the pumpkin.
On a cardboard sheet,
cut out a leaf shape, then use a 0.7 mm black acrylic marker to write the name
of your choosing.
Use a small cutter to
make a small hole on the label, pass the fine string though it, and then attach
it using a pretty knot.
