Summarize the following:
Hot glue each piece along the vertical ribs (indented lines) of your pumpkin. Start from the top of the pumpkin and finish at the bottom; trim off any excess rickrack or ribbon.  Get some rickrack and grosgrain ribbon in several different colors and patterns for a more colorful look. Stack thin trims on top of wider ones to make the pumpkin more detailed. Choose a fake craft pumpkin from the craft store, then spray paint it a different color, if desired. Let the paint dry, then hot glue rhinestones to it. You can also hot glue strands of sequin trim to create designs such as words, spirals, and polka dots. You can try using a real pumpkin, but you will need to wipe it down with a damp cloth first to remove any surface dirt. Find white or black lace trim that is between 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6 cm) wide. Cut a strip long enough to wrap around the middle of your pumpkin. Secure the lace to the pumpkin using hot glue or fabric glue.  Try black lace on top of a white pumpkin for a spooky look. Spray paint the pumpkin first to make the lace pop! paper onto a pumpkin if you like to scrapbook. Purchase patterned paper with large designs on it, such as flowers or birds. Cut the designs out. Stick the paper to the pumpkin with decoupage glue until the entire surface is covered. Coat the pumpkin with a final layer of decoupage glue. Trace fall leaves onto red, orange, and yellow tissue paper. Cut the leaves out, then glue them to the pumpkin using decoupage or tacky glue. Coat the leaves with another layer of glue to seal them in, then let everything dry.  Create realistic veins by brushing the leaves inward from the outside edges with a coarse-bristle brush. Do this while they are still wet. Trace leaves onto silver "fancy foil wrap" for a fancier look. You can find this product in the baking aisle of a craft store. Cut your desired flowers down to 2 inches (5.1 cm). Drill holes into a real or fake craft pumpkin, then insert the cut flowers into the holes. Use a combination of large, medium, and small flowers; they can be real or fake.  Use dark, neutral, or fall colors, such as red, orange, yellow, brown, teal, or plum. Choose fall flowers, such as dahlias, mums, sunflowers, and yellow daisies. Avoid spring flowers, such as tulips and daffodils. You can create any sort of pattern you want, but put the flowers close enough together so that they touch. Spread clear craft glue over the surface of a fake craft pumpkin. Use tweezers to pick up pieces of gold leaf, and a soft-bristled paintbrush to smooth them down. Let the glue dry, then smooth the surface further with a soft cloth.  You can buy gold leafing kits in the craft store. They come in silver, gold, and copper. You can use a real pumpkin, but it will eventually rot. Gold leaf is expensive, so it is better to use it on a fake craft pumpkin, which will last forever.

Milk glass typically comes as a creamy white, light blue, pink, or black.  Milk glass that is any color other than white was most likely produced in the 20th or 21st century. The light should shine through milk glass. If the light doesn’t shine through whatsoever, it’s possible that the item is porcelain. Milk glass was originally made as a low-cost alternative to porcelain. Milk glass will typically have raised bumps, frills, and complex engravings. The engravings typically include things like birds, leaves, and grapes. If your piece is missing these things, it’s possible that it’s just regular white glass or porcelain.
