MATERIALS
• 18 CANNING LIDS (78 mm) • Large piece of CARDBOARD • Rust-oleum Universal Metallic SPRAY PAINT in Copper Rose or Rust-oleum Painter’s Touch Multi-purpose PAINT in Flat Black • Scotch Expressions WASHI TAPE in Black/copper Triangle Foil or Copper • RIBBON (to match pumpkin’s base colour) • DRIFTWOOD
HOW TO
1
Spread out the lids on the cardboard. Spray paint one side of the lids; let dry completely. Turn the lids over and spray paint the other side; let dry completely. Add2 a second coat, if necessary.
Apply the washi tape around each lid. (For easier placement, align one edge3 of the tape with the rim of the lid.)
Set the lids on their sides, all facing the same direction. Arrange in a circle; secure together with the ribbon. Insert driftwood in the middle to create a stem.
