How and How Long:
- In a well-ventilated area, set up a spray area by covering a table or other work surface with newspaper or a drop cloth.
- Fill the urn halfway with floral foam (or use wadded newspaper). Use glue to secure.
- Create the main harvest bouquet by hot gluing larger fruits and vegetables together in a visually pleasing pyramid or mound.
- Using straight pins or glue, attach smaller fruits and faux fall leaves here and there, filling gaps and accenting the display.
- Spray entire centerpiece with Oil Rubbed Bronze and let dry. Add a second coat if needed.
- Using Copper, spray the piece from above, only spraying the top portions of the centerpiece. Let dry.
- Using a paintbrush and Gold Leaf paint, create highlights by brushing in one direction across raised areas on the fruits, vegetables and leaves. Let dry.
- Finish by spraying entire centerpiece with Crystal Clear Acrylic. Let Dry Completely.
Approximate project time: 2 hours.
