My husband used to tease me about painting anything
that wasn’t moving…
Like pumpkins!
Since ‘Tis the season right now, let’s paint some pumpkins!
🎃
First, prep your pumpkins
- wipe them clean with a sponge and soft cloth
- Spray on an acrylic sealer
- Paint pumpkin with acrylic paint or spray paint
- When paint is dry spray on another layer of acrylic sealer
You can paint pumpkins to match your decor,
like these Patterned Pumpkins I painted for the beach house
Or these MacKenzie-Childs knock off Fanciful Pumpkins
Paint a pumpkin character for your entry to greet trick or treaters~
A cute face perhaps,
just shapes, lines, and white highlights!
Or a Spooky Haunted House!
Have Elvis croon you a tune 🎵
Use a tall pumpkin and add plastic hair or a wig
A Witchy Toad will keep the ghosts away
Paint a pumpkin green,
add eyes and warts with green balls,
green colored paper feet and a witch’s hat
Make a Pumpkin Ice Cream Cone,
it’s not scary at all!
Paint a pumpkin pink with chocolate sauce and sprinkles
Set it in a basket, decorative house trash can or planter
Surround the ice cream base with crushed pink tissue
and top with a piece of cotton and a cherry
Use one of those weird bumpy pumpkins, [ Goosebump pumpkin ]
and make
Are you feeling The Seaon of the Witch?
Don’t forget to save any unblemished pumpkins,
they make wonderful holiday decorations!
Paint a Pumpkin
Be Fearless!
