Paint a base coat on the wooden rosettes with Dark Chocolate and let dry. Apply a second coat, if necessary.

Randomly apply crackle medium with a paintbrush. Apply heavy in some areas and thinner in others (which will result in a variety of cracks on the finished pumpkins). Allow medium to dry completely - about 30 minutes.

Apply a thick coat of the orange paint (use a different shade per block) with a very limited number of strokes and do not paint over the same area more than once. As the paint dries it will crackle. Large
cracks will appear where the medium was put on thick and small cracks will appear where the medium was put on thin.

Cut twig/stick into 1" to 2" lengths with pruning shears and then attach to the top, center of each pumpkin with a glue gun.

Gather a variety of green ribbons, trim them into 6” lengths and then knot in the center. Glue at base of pumpkin stalk.
