Remove the pumpkin stem and insert a wood skewer into the hole on top of the pumpkin. 

While holding the skewer, apply an even layer of Modern Masters primer to the pumpkin.

Place the skewer in the pot of dirt so the pumpkin can dry. 

Once the primer is dry, Apply a coat of Modern Masters oxidizing bronze paint over the primed surface. While the paint is still wet, generously spray it with the rust activator to kickstart the patina pumpkin effect. Once done, carefully place the skewers into the terra cotta pot of dirt to dry completely. 

You can repeat step four as many times as you like until you get the perfect patina. 

For the next steps. Cut the plastic skeleton arm bone in the center using a small hand saw.

Spray paint the skeleton hands with rose gold spray paint, allowing them to dry completely.

Apply a light coat of black paint to the skeleton hands using either black craft paint or spray paint. Use a paper towel or a rag and wipe some of the black paint off so you can still see the rose gold paint. You can also use a toothbrush and flick it with your finger to get a speckle effect. 

Add a little hot glue in the small hole of the pumpkin and insert the skeleton hand. 

Add a small amount of Spanish moss around the small hole of the pumpkin where you inserted the skeleton hand
