No Carve Mint Green + Gold Pumpkin

I bought a small package of real miniature pumpkins for a few dollars and have been having great fun creating all kinds of pumpkins this fall.  I shared a picture of this guy after getting a minty paint job on Instagram and was asking for ideas.  The resounding answer was gold.  

Well, since gold is my number one go-to color, GOLD IT WAS.  Today I am sharing how to create this adorable No Carve mint green + gold pumpkin.

How do I make aNo Carve Mint Green + Gold Pumpkin?

The first step, which I don’t have a picture of is painting your pumpkin.  This mint green paint is actually Martha Stewart’s mint green chalkboard paint.  I love the color of Martha’s chalkboard mint green paint and the gorgeous finish of the paint.  I then painted the stem in a soft grass green acrylic paint.

 

Next, I drew five dots on an every other pumpkin section spacing with a gold paint pen.  I placed the dots at about the halfway point on the pumpkin.  These would become the lowest dots in my design.  

You can see in the graphic below I showed where I divided my pumpkin.

 

I slowly started filling in the pattern with my gold foil paint pen.  A few dots I misplaced, but with a few strokes of the mint green paint, they were erased and could be painted again.
