Supplies You’ll Need for an Ombre Pumpkin:
- Faux or real pumpkin
- Mylar fringe (pink and gold tones from Target)
- Tape or adhesive strips
- Low Temp Glue Gun
- Gold paint or gold spray paint (for the stem)
- Scissors
Step-by-Step Tutorial: How to Make an Ombre Pumpkin with Mylar Fringe
Step 1: Prep Your Pumpkin
Start with a clean pumpkin, whether it’s real or faux. If you’re using a faux pumpkin, wipe it down to remove any dust or debris. This will help the tape and mylar fringe stick better.
Next, if the stem isn’t already gold, use gold paint or gold spray paint to give the stem a shiny, polished look. Set the pumpkin aside and let the stem dry completely before adding the fringe.
Step 2: Cut the Mylar Fringe into Strips
Take your mylar fringe in pink and gold tones and cut it into strips. You’ll want to cut each strip to wrap around the pumpkin and then about 3-4 inches in length.
The idea is to create an ombre effect by layering the colors from bottom to top, so cut enough strips to cover the entire pumpkin.
Step 3: Start Layering the Fringe
Using hot glue, start gluing the mylar fringe around the pumpkin in sections. Begin at the bottom (I made the mistake of starting at the top) of the pumpkin wrapping the fringe around the base and securing it with hot glue.
Once the first layer is complete continue moving up the pumpkin. Continue gluing the fringe in rows, overlapping the strips slightly to create a smooth gradient effect.
- Tip: Make sure each layer of fringe completely covers the the row beneath it for a seamless look.
Step 4: Complete the Ombre Look
As you reach the top of the pumpkin secure the fringe just below the stem. The contrast between the bright mylar fringe and the gold stem will give the pumpkin a beautiful, finished look.
If any fringe strips seem loose or uneven, you can use small pieces of tape to adjust them or trim the edges with scissors for a clean finish.
Step 5: Style Your Ombre Pumpkin
Your ombre pumpkin is now ready to shine! Place it on your mantel, as a centerpiece on your dining table, or alongside your other fall decor for a unique and eye-catching display.
I added mine to the China hutch in my dining room.
The mix of pink and gold tones adds a modern, glam vibe to your typical fall setup, making this pumpkin a perfect piece for anyone who loves a little sparkle in their decor.
