Things you’ll need:
Miniature gourds
Masking tape
Gold spray paint

Pen

Things to do:
1. Using your masking tape, mask off either the top of bottom half of each gourd, making sure you smooth them down well in the crevices and that you maintain a straight line all the way around.

2. Mask off the rest of the gourd on the side you don’t want painted.
3. In a well-ventilated work area and on a covered surface. Lightly spray the exposed areas of the gourds with two coats of paint, allowing each to dry before adding the next.

5. Using your craft knife cut a slit for the tag, either in the body of the gourd or by splitting the stem in half.
6. Write your names on the cards and insert into the slit.
