Materials :
- Difficulty: hard

In a container, prepare the plaster (1 part water to 3 parts
plaster) then mix
![Diluer le plâtre résine](https://dwmga127svx24.cloudfront.net/6573/etp2.jpg)
Place the plastic bag in a bowl and pour the plaster
mixture into it.

Close the bag with a knot, having removed all the air. Tightly wrap a piece of string around the pumpkin to create the distinctive shape in the plaster. Create 8 grooves in this way, using 4 pieces of string.

Once the plaster has
dried, cut the string and remove the plastic film, then lightly sand any
irregularities.

Paint the pumpkin,
first using the Gesso base
![Peindre les marques place en plâtre](https://dwmga127svx24.cloudfront.net/6577/etap6.jpg)
Then, paint it with a coat of Pébéo Studio Acrylics
buff titanium paint.

Finally, apply a
second coat of paint in a different colour (cadmium yellow).

Before the paint
dries completely, use a damp cloth to gently rub your pumpkin to give it a more
authentic effect

Apply a final coat of
varnish.

Cut a small piece of
thick string, measuring about 2 cm in length, and glue one end to prevent fraying.
Stick the other end into the hollow of the pumpkin.

On a cardboard sheet,
cut out a leaf shape, then use a 0.7 mm black acrylic marker to write the name
of your choosing.

Use a small cutter to
make a small hole on the label, pass the fine string though it, and then attach
it using a pretty knot.
