Do you want some pumpkin decorating ideas that do not require you to carve them up first? I have the best no carve pumpkin decorating ideas the whole family will love!
At our home, we don’t really “do” spooky Halloween. We have fun, dress-up, and eat lots of sweets on Halloween. So this year, I thought it would be fun to make a pumpkin representing each member of our family that we could bring back out year after year – in addition to carving Jack-O-Lanterns in real pumpkins, of course.
For this pumpkin, you will need:
You will want to paint the pumpkin with the aqua matte spray, and allow it to dry.
Then, spray a light coat of the diamond dust spray, and allow it to dry.
To make it, I used Krylon aqua matte spray paint to painT a white craft pumpkin.
I then layered Krylon opulent opal glitter spray paint on top. I was super bummed with this though. It was gorgeous going on, but within moments it stopped working. I figured the glitter was clogging the nozzle and I tried multiple solutions to no avail. What a waste!
I went back and purchased Krylon glitter blast diamond dust spray paint. It was also beautiful and the can worked much better.
Once completely dry, decorate as desired with self-stick rhinestone gems. Top with a fun princess tiara, if desired.
For this pumpkin, you will need:
Simply print out a Hello Kitty face on the printer, and place it over the clear contact paper as a stencil.
Paint the stencil in with the paint and allow it to dry. Add a fun hair bow to complete this look.
For this pumpkin you will need:
To make this painted pumpkin, cut out a square in the black craft pumpkin, and paint the inside green with the green spray paint. Print out the Creeper face, and place it over the contact paper to use as a stencil. Place the stencil inside the dry pumpkin and paint on the Creeper face with the black acrylic paint.
For my pumpkin, I just picked up this black studded pumpkin from JoAnn’s I just love it!
For my husband, well…
He’s a long-suffering Chicago Bears fan (as am I). Da Bears!
