Add a metallic look to cheap foam pumpkins

This time of year, pumpkins have puked all over our house. In a really nice way. 

I have wood pumpkins: Hee. Aren't they precious? I have glittered pumpkins:

(Take some glue, brush it on, and put on the glitter.)

I have real pumpkins all over the place outside:

I have metal pumpkins:

And last year I used black paint and made some cauuute tags to make a set of "Welcome" pumpkins:

But this year my favorite pumpkins are my metallic ones:

For these, I took cheapy plastic pumpkins and sprayed them with my beloved oil rubbed bronze spray paint, then took just a bit of my loverly glaze and brushed a bit on over the top:

It gives them just a little bit of shimmer. Sigh. I love my glaze! (By the way, my pumpkins were all about a buck, from Hobby Lobby on sale and WalMart.)

I also did some with a copper spray paint, with a bit of the ORB spray over it:

Some I did the bronze first, and then just a bit of the copper, but it's a lot more subtle:

At our dining table settings, I used the copper by itself on some:

And added a bit of ORB spray on others:

Here's the good stuff -- my faux glaze I use on just about everything (from Lowe's), the oil rubbed bronze  spray paint and my "burnished copper" spray paint from the craft store:

Check out the metallic pumpkins at Whispering Creek House and at 320 Sycamore as well!
