Pottery barn Halloween dupe! 🎃 How to make your own terracotta / stone pumpkin or jack o'lantern, inspired by pottery barn (which costs $90....) My diy only cost you $20! 🤗 1. Find/Buy a pumpkin or jack o'lantern. You can find a cheap one at either a home store, Craft store, thrift store or just give one you already own a makeover! 2. If you’re using a jack o'lantern, and want to change the face, you can use air dry clay to add on however you’d like. (This can also be used to add it change the stem) I wanted thicker teeth and smaller features so I added a lot of clay to mine, but again this step is optional. 3. Apply a few light layers of modpodge over top to seal the clay, and to reinforce any cracks that may have appeared after air drying. 4. Spray, or hand paint. I used a mixture of orange, brown, yellow and white acrylic matte paint. You could also just use a premixed color of your choice. 5. Add baking soda to the paint to give texture.... You’ll need A LOT of it. It will make a gritty paste like texture to mimic stone/terracotta. You may need to work in sections and add additional layers for the best coverage/application. 6. While the paint is still tacky, lightly add flour over top with a dry brush. This will give the washed out color and weathered effect. (You can also use spray adhesive or clear spray paint if needed/your paint is too dry) you can also add a clear coat to help seal your project *especially if you plan to use it outdoors.
