Pottery Barn Pumpkin Knockoff

Jennifer Howard | Cottage on Bunker Hill

Have you seen the new Pottery Barn terra cotta pumpkins? They are the cutest Jack o'lanterns but start at almost $50! So I decided to make a knockoff version...

Spread a coat of the joint compound over the pumpkin.

Let the paint dry completely!

Don't worry, if you get too much on just use a dry paintbrush to sweep some off!

Seriously, how cute are these little pumpkins??
