DIY Terracotta Pumpkins 🎃

Supplies//

How To//

First, you will need to grab some pumpkins. I got two of mine from Home Depot and one from Lowes but you can use whatever plastic pumpkins you would like.
The paint I used is from Sherwin-Williams in the color “Pottery Urn”. You can get 1 Quart Color To Go sample paint that comes in a twist-n-pour container for easy use. You can also use the paint colors “poncho” or “pottery wheel” by Behr or “Subdued Sienna” by Sherwin-Williams.
Pour some of your paint into a paint tray or on a paper plate. Mix in baking soda to the paint until your desired consistency.
Paint your pumpkins using a foam brush with 2-3 coats of paint. I used the small 1″ brush for the eyes and mouth of the pumpkins because it’s easier to get in the small spaces.
On the last coat, wait until the paint is mostly dry but is still a little tacky. Pour or sprinkle baking soda all over your pumpkins depending on how white-washed you would like it.
Dust off the remaining baking soda from your pumpkins.
That’s it!

Fun tip: If you’re going for a more organic undone terracotta look like I was, you can be messy with it.
