Other Supplies

FolkArt ® Painted Finishes - Light Concrete, 4 oz. #5100, FolkArt ® Painted Finish Kit - Barnwood #5074, FolkArt ® Painted Finishes - Brush Set, 3 pc. #5080, Medium pumpkin, Unfinished wooden cake plate or large round plaque; candle holder and small plaque all glued together with wood glue, Squirt bottle of water, Lint-free cloth, Plastic card, Foam plate

Instructions

  1. Apply the Light Concrete to pumpkin with one of the shortie brush, using a patting motion to make ensure full texture. Cover the entire pumpkin.
  2. Dab on the darker concrete sparingly in the creases of pumpkin and add accents where desired.
  3. Using the squirt bottle, spray some water to make the concrete run down the pumpkin; this will blend the two colors together. Add as much as needed until you get your desired look.
  4. For the Barnwood cake plate, apply the Barnwood Tint onto the cake plate. Allow to dry completely.
  5. Brush on the Barnwood Wax, wipe it away immediately with a lint free cloth and then scrape off any excess with a plastic card (an old credit card or room key works great). Allow to dry completely.
