Wall texture is unbelievably versatile!

The wall texture spray is a great idea! Really makes them more organic. 999

I'm sooo glad you have this channel. I can't do any of this stuff at my house, but can live vicariously through your work! Thanks man!

[careismatik]

I am so glad I found your channel. I love your tutorials. Simple and easy to follow with inexpensive fixes that add character!

[rachaelb]

I probably would have added some green around the stem. Just a tiny bit. But wall texture! Genius!!

[stephentaylor]

Thanks Derek! Looking forward to trying these techniques! 🎃👍

Super glad I discovered this channel!!

[ToilandTroublesDIY]

Awesome stuff again! Big fan of the channel already and I have added this one to my page's Community DIY Tutorials playlist.

Texture spray, of course! Why didn't I think of that? Guess it's time to buy some more foam pumpkins...

[pineappleallie]

So talented. Loving this channel and running out of things to watch. 😟

[hughmungus]

Awesome job! I was wondering how you would make one of these look like it’s rotten and moldy?

[thefrightsociety]

Rotting pumpkins are a huge thing this year!

[DoktorHalloween]

I have long sought a flat clear coat that doesn't darken a finish, in particular a powder finish or a metal patina finish. How does the ModPodge do in this regard?

[kevinfinkel]

You'd never know it was one of those white craft foam pumpkins.

[marksands]

How does Mod Podge Ultra hold up in rainy conditions?

[Jnt]

Can u use spray paint for the fake pumpkins u see at hobby lobby? If so what kind of spray paint?

[ManuFortiMcCoy]

I bought some small funkins at The Dollar Tree and was going to start on this. Went to Wal-mart-Hell and couldn't find Mod Podge Ultra anywhere. They had other Mod Podge products, but not that one. Can you recommend another product that I could use?

[EricAlder]

Great makeover, though that seam line on the stem is bugging me.

Love the wall texture spray idea, I’m going to try this out for this Halloween! Decorating this year inspired by Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion Holiday and I need 999 pumpkins!! @collinrileyriot
