Halloween Pumpkin Painting

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I am always trying to come up with new ideas to get crafty for this holiday. This year I decided to paint pumpkins so that they would last longer and still look fun for the season.

The supplies you will need for all the pumpkins:

• pumpkins
• black paint
•  paint brushes
• glue gun
• trash bag (or newspaper for a safe workspace)
• orange sharpie
• scissors
• glow in the dark puffy paint
• flat stringed pearls
• lace
• mod podge

 I hope this inspires you to paint your own pumpkins this year! And please feel free to share. I always love to see what others creatively come up with. Wishing you a happy and safe ALL HALLOWS EVE!
