In a well ventilated area, carefully wrap (or protect) the pot and spray or brush two coats of pink paint onto the pumpkin and dried foam. Let your pink paint dry.
Glue a red pom pom ball to the top center of the pumpkin and a 2” bent green pipe cleaner in the center of the red pon-pom ball for the cherry and stem.
