How to Bling Out a No Carve Pumpkin Liberace Style

I love glitter, glam and all things with bling so when I saw the “Liberace” Pumpkin  tutorial at Bead&Cord.com, I felt compelled to take the idea and run with it. I mean seriously…how can anything associated with “Liberace” be anything but glam-fabulous? So I grabbed a no carve pumpkin and got to work!

After glancing at hundreds of Liberace’s fabulous outfits, I found the perfect one…the inspiration for my “Liberace” pumpkin

No Carve Pumpkin Supplies needed:

• Foam Pumpkin
• Patterned Tissue Paper or thin patterned wrapping paper (torn in sections)
• Mod Podge
• Foam Brush or cheap brush to apply Mod Podge
• E6000 Spray Adhesive  (Did you know they had a spray?)
•  E6000 Adhesive
• Embellishments – sequins..glitter..rhinestones…

No Carve Pumpkin Instructions:

Step 1) Tear your tissue paper into small sections.

Step 2) Using a foam brush, apply Mod Podge in manageable sections. This photo shows a black pumpkin. I actually used an orange pumpkin for mine but both would work.

Step 3) While Mod Podge is wet add torn tissue paper pieces.

Step 4) Continue to repeat steps until the entire pumpkin is covered.

Step 5) When the entire pumpkin is covered, re-coat pumpkin with one last layer of Mod Podge. Let Dry.

Now…this is where you get to add your own personality to your no carve pumpkin…BLING IT OUT!

For those of you who follow my segments on Kansas City Live, you know I LOVE E6000 so imagine how happy I was to find E6000 spray adhesive!

Step 6) Spray sections of E6000 Spray Adhesive and sprinkle with sequins.

Step 7) Sprinkle with glitter.

Step 8) Continue to layer sequins and glitter, adding additional E6000 spray adhesive as needed. I must confess, I could have repeated that sequence of events for hours!

Step 9) Using regular E6000 adhesive, glue on large acrylic rhinestones.

Step 10) For a cherry on the top, I attached this silver-glittered fleur de lis that I picked up in the dollar bin at Michaels Arts and Crafts store.

And here is my take on a Liberace pumpkin! What do you think?

I gave my no carve Liberace pumpkin to my friend, Michael Mackie, on the set of Kansas City Live. He absolutely loved it!
