I had a HUGE project fail. H.U.G.E. Everyone has seen these fluorescent pumpkins.
I got mine at Walmart last year for about $5.00 each. I painted all of my pumpkins bright white.
One coat didn't cover very well so I gave them another one.
Freshly painted second coat.
So here is where it all goes downhill fast. Veeeerryyy fast...
I got this glaze for a chair redo that I plan to get to one day when I have a second of free time, so we're looking at December when school is out.
Anyway, maybe it didn't work because the pumpkins were styrofoam and not wood? I don't know but they did not turn out like I had pictured in my head. Not even a little.
What the heck? It looks like I took that pumpkin and rolled it around in the mud!
Really really bad...
So I had two super bright white paintings left. I had no clue what to do with them.
And then I thought about this metallic paint I used on another project. (It is currently in fail status, we'll save that one for another day.)
I painted on some glaze and it was WAY better!
Now I have cute metallic pumpkins!
All in all, that's why this project is SuccessFAIL!
One fail...
BUT one great success!!!
Now I just need to decorate the front porch!
