Lucky for me, I had several small white pumpkins at my house that I had used to decorate for Halloween. As you can see they were starting to turn yellow, so thankfully I had not already tossed them! I put some newspaper down, covered the stems with painter's tape and started spraying...

Once the top of the pumpkins dried (about 30 minutes) I flipped them over and sprayed the bottoms.

Once the pumpkins were dry, I used a knife to cut a slit in the stems so that the name card would slide in to place.
I am pretty pleased with the finished product! The only thing I would change would be to get a more subtle metallic sray paint color, which would be more similar to Jenny's pumpkins. I bought all my materials - spray paint, place cards, and gold pen - at Michael's. I can't wait to see how these look on Thanksgiving day!
P.S. Today is my 100th post!! I can't believe I've hit triple digits...
