I started amongst i of these lilliputian circular jars amongst screw on lids from Dollar Tree. Since I didn't accept orangish arts and crafts pigment on manus I made my ain past times mixing yellow, cherry-red as well as brownish until I had the perfect rusty orange.

I mean value I ended upwards icon 3 coats of orangish pigment to driblet dead amount coverage on the "pumpkin" jar. While I waited for the pigment to dry out I worked on updating the lid. I used the same exact method I used for the industrial storage jars. Basically, I spray painted the hat gilded as well as thus used a combination of Gold Leaf Rub 'n Buff, brushed pewter and brownish pigment to give the hat an industrial aged look. I as well as thus sealed the jounce as well as wax amongst H2O based poly.

I used the same icon technique on the stem, which I had leftover from other pumpkin projects.
