In this video, you’ll learn how to transform basic stacking pumpkins into a high-end, sculptural piece using FolkArt Terra Cotta and FolkArt Treasure Gold paint. This budget-friendly DIY creates the look of artisan decor with layered texture and a luxe metallic pop inside.

You’ll start by painting the exterior of the stacking pumpkins with FolkArt Terra Cotta paint, which gives a realistic clay-like finish and soft matte texture. Once that dries, you’ll add FolkArt Treasure Gold to the inside for a rich, reflective contrast that mimics the look of high-end ceramic and metal pieces.

This project is perfect for beginners who want stylish seasonal decor without the designer price tag. You’ll learn how to prep your pumpkins, apply smooth coats of both textured and metallic paint, and assemble the finished look for maximum visual impact. The stacked shape gives height and presence, making it a perfect centerpiece or shelf accent.

You can easily customize this project by switching up the paint colors or using different finishes for the interior detail.

Supplies Needed:

• Stacking pumpkins (plastic, foam, or thrifted)
• FolkArt Terra Cotta Paint (your choice of exterior color)
• FolkArt Treasure Gold Paint (for the interior)
• Medium and detail brushes
