Choose orange mini pumpkins.<br /><br />2. Paint them with 2 coats of Old White Annie Sloan Chalk Paint<br />(or warm white acrylic paints)<br /><br />3. Make a "sludge" with clear wax and Country Grey Annie Sloan Chalk Paint<br />(or use a clear wax and a yellow gold acrylic paint)<br /><br />Use only a tiny bit of paint, about one or two drops to 1 tsp of wax. Mix together and  that is a sludge.<br /><br />4. Wax the pumpkin. If you need a little more color add another drop of Country Grey to the sludge and rewax the pumpkin.<br /><br />Let the wax dry and buff with a soft white cotton rag.<br /><br />5. Pull out the plastic stem of each pumpkin.<br /><br />6. AND HERE'S THE SECRET TO MAKING OUR LITTLE WHITE PUMPKINS LOOK REAL!<br /> Glue a real pumpkin or gourd stem in its place.<br /><br /><br /><br />I pop off the stems of real pumpkins and gourds every year and save them.<br /><br />To pop off a pumpkin stems, put pressure against the side of the stem at it's base with your thumb and it should pop off!<br /><br />Towards the end of the season I visit my local greenhouses and ask if I can have pumpkin stems from their discarded pumpkins.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbj0PnjsL6ZSdhT41FoffBfYuO8yXwI8hVtRwoDSoNwJ9-TpR8aNpm2ASeTZAJqbBGuMZtktNnhfltzwjSQj5hj2iIdKTY8AP3G8EY0hVG-YfSkj-ueQVmJlb0lYgNR5RBgfrQiIFOmwaa/s1600/three+white+painted+pumpkins+with+ribbons+-+stonegableblog.com.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="422" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbj0PnjsL6ZSdhT41FoffBfYuO8yXwI8hVtRwoDSoNwJ9-TpR8aNpm2ASeTZAJqbBGuMZtktNnhfltzwjSQj5hj2iIdKTY8AP3G8EY0hVG-YfSkj-ueQVmJlb0lYgNR5RBgfrQiIFOmwaa/s640/three+white+painted+pumpkins+with+ribbons+-+stonegableblog.com.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br />I tied a black and white checkered ribbon around the stem of these little white pumpkins ... aren't they so sassy?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7b2rF1-gBpbQAc8ZppKtnk6jfjiqazvWdGAenNr1niDTnMh9Nl2fm9qzKGga3QUUCE3n3ZQg5b0Cm1AXD9gqJUdAPE9IUC3Jh5QHXUbV5iOF86DopewrjjeKWDKRzdh_Mp_-v9c_ihHKp/s1600/three+little+pumpkins+-+stonegableblog.com.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7b2rF1-gBpbQAc8ZppKtnk6jfjiqazvWdGAenNr1niDTnMh9Nl2fm9qzKGga3QUUCE3n3ZQg5b0Cm1AXD9gqJUdAPE9IUC3Jh5QHXUbV5iOF86DopewrjjeKWDKRzdh_Mp_-v9c_ihHKp/s640/three+little+pumpkins+-+stonegableblog.com.jpg" width="422" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br />I have a few fun fall projects using white painted pumpkins coming soon!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyCiukz_uLKNMZrbSV29emYvOfWluMHFgxLBOT5rLu7e3TcNRZWnRpjMRSYmprOB4rsY9YBEkKbvHKWCGcY0k4z3DaK0zJPOxf9qklQWN9zECz8qQdueMgfj7AVWj-2FrAu_hFSrKQgz0h/s1600/Three+white+pumpkins+-+stonegableblog.com.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="422" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyCiukz_uLKNMZrbSV29emYvOfWluMHFgxLBOT5rLu7e3TcNRZWnRpjMRSYmprOB4rsY9YBEkKbvHKWCGcY0k4z3DaK0zJPOxf9qklQWN9zECz8qQdueMgfj7AVWj-2FrAu_hFSrKQgz0h/s640/Three+white+pumpkins+-+stonegableblog.com.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br />Remember to...<br /><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="javascript:void((function(){var%20e=document.createElement('script');e.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');e.setAttribute('charset','UTF-8');e.setAttribute('src','http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinmarklet.js?r='+Math.random()*99999999);document.body.appendChild(e)})());"><img alt="Pin It" class="aligncenter" src="http://www.clickinmoms.com/cmprodaily/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/pinit.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="javascript:void((function(){var%20e=document.createElement('script');e.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');e.setAttribute('charset','UTF-8');e.setAttribute('src','http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinmarklet.js?r='+Math.random()*99999999);document.body.appendChild(e)})());"><br /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzMfnlscn80eSQD5iTvDDCSHexwEoVk3Zd5dFcJICatxiUc0_3tbFuVvXLAhddOFNro64xjim07Arh8OQlPd5cWVsk3wwpXhh6XhiHXfbvW3emrEwP2yAw3ObDaru9pLfeTvfOP4vG2xKY/s1600/Painting+Pumpkins+White+for+Pinterest+-+stonegableblog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzMfnlscn80eSQD5iTvDDCSHexwEoVk3Zd5dFcJICatxiUc0_3tbFuVvXLAhddOFNro64xjim07Arh8OQlPd5cWVsk3wwpXhh6XhiHXfbvW3emrEwP2yAw3ObDaru9pLfeTvfOP4vG2xKY/s400/Painting+Pumpkins+White+for+Pinterest+-+stonegableblog.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="javascript:void((function(){var%20e=document.createElement('script');e.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');e.setAttribute('charset','UTF-8');e.setAttribute('src','http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinmarklet.js?r='+Math.random()*99999999);document.body.appendChild(e)})());"><br /></a></div></div></div>
