I found this fall decorating inspiration on Pinterest, from Shanty 2 Chic. I fell in love and had to create this in my home. I know you can find white pumpkins, but they are more expensive and I have not seen them out yet this season, so I decided to paint the ones I had to complete this decorating project. 
I painted more than just these three. I wrapped the stems with masking tape and then used a spray primer.
I than hand painted with an off white latex paint and on the larger sized pumpkins I stenciled on some letters with a bronze metallic paint. The only cost involved for this fall decorating project was the cost of the pumpkins, I had everything else on hand.
Here is how I used these pumpkins in my fall decorating.
I love how they turned out. I love that this was an inexpensive fall decorating idea. Have you ever painted pumpkins for your Fall decorating projects?
