Apply as few or as many coats of spray as you like. Let dry. 2. With a craft brush, paint stems with green acrylic paint. Let dry. 3. Brush plastic insects with tacky glue, and coat with orange ultrafine opaque glitter. Let dry. 4. Attach bugs to pumpkins using a hot-glue gun or poster tack. For the leaves: 1. From a ½-yard piece of green silk taffeta, cut out three 6-inch squares, three 7-inch squares and three 10-inch squares. 2. Fold one large taffeta square in half. Lay the large leaf template (available at www.marthastewart.com/pumpkinleaf, or create one) along the fold. Pin to fabric, and cut out. Repeat with remaining squares, using smaller templates for smaller squares. 3. Snip cloth-covered floral wire into 45 9-inch pieces, and separate into 9 sets of 5 wires. Wrap a set with floral tape, beginning 3 inches from the top of bundle if you're making a small leaf, 4 inches for a medium leaf or 5 ½ inches for a large leaf. Tear tape. Splay the 5 wires at top to create "veins." 4. Apply glue to one side of splayed wires, and press against leaf. Let dry. (If wires extend over leaf edge, trim after glue has dried.) 5. Shape leaf with your fingers. Repeat. 1. Brush an 18-inch length of floral wire with tacky glue; sprinkle with chartreuse glitter. Let dry. Create as many as you like. 2. Coil wire around a pencil, leaving about 4 inches of wire straight at one end. 3. Using floral tape, wrap "tendrils" onto leaf stems. You can create a vine by joining the stems with floral tape, or simply arrange the leaves beneath the bases of the pumpkins. 4. Affix crystals to leaves with tacky glue.
