3D Painted Pumpkins

Matte spray paint or chalk paint goes a long way to turn a purple pumpkin into a beautiful new hue. We found that using lighter colors shows off the 3D design more.

Directions: Make sure your pumpkin is thoroughly cleaned. Draw a design in pencil on the pumpkin, making it as simple or detailed as you like! Go over pencil lines with puff paint and let dry completely for a few hours. You might want to work in sections if you are creating a larger design. Once the puff paint has dried, mask off the stem of the pumpkin with masking tape and spray a coat of matte spray paint all over the pumpkin, and let dry. Repeat with a second coat if needed. Remove masking tape and enjoy!

Painted Faux Bois Pumpkin

For a totally rustic look, imitate the look of wood grains by lightly sketch a faux bois pattern on a pumpkin with a pencil. Then, use a linoleum carving tool to etch out the pattern. Once complete, paint unetched part of the pumpkin with acrylic paint.
