How do I make a geometric bean pumpkin?
The first step was lightly drawing on the geometric triangle pattern with a pencil. I just freehanded this party, it definitely does not have to be perfect.
I noticed that even with hot glueing the beans as close as possible to each other, you could still see the white pumpkin underneath showing through.
So, I quickly grabbed my acrylic paints in coordinating colors to my beans and began to paint in the triangle shapes with brown and green acrylic paint.
Then, using a hot glue gun to secure, it was just placing bean by bean in my patterned shapes.
It’s just so simple, clean and perfect. All the heart eyes over here.
Have you used beans in any of your DIYs?
Because I maybe have hundreds of spare beans sitting around the house now – ha.
