Paint the pumpkin black

After the paint dries, apply modge podge or glue to the stem and then sprinkle the glitter on it to cover it.

Stick the studs directly into the pumpkin. (if they’re having trouble sticking, a little hot glue should do the trick)

12 Days of Christmas Day 5~ Perfect Pumpkins

So when halloween comes around i always try my hardest to make my pumpkin look as glamorous and unusual as i can. This year i have found a few ideas that are really different and will look amazing as centre pieces or on your doorstep.

Trick or Treat Pumpkin 1. Paint you pumpkin white, this may take a few coats of paint before it is completely white, then paint the stalk black. 2. Draw on the trick or treat text using a pencil, this can be any font you like, if you need help you can print out a stencil. 3. Using a small brush paint ontop of the text, you can use a permanent marker to straighten any edges. 4. Add further decorations, these can be ribbons, beads and pieces of lace.

Glitter Pumpkin 1.Using a large paintbrush cover your pumpkin with pva glue. 2. Choose a coloured glitter (i prefer blacks and silvers for a glamorous look). Cover the pumpkin completely in the glitter, this might take a few coats. 3. When finished cover the pumpkin with a coat of spray glue or clear varnish. 4. Finally paint the stalk, you could even use a contrasting colour of glitter on the stalk.

Lace Pumpkin 1. Paint your pumpkin white, the pumpkin may need a few coats of paint. 2. Using lace fabric or tights, cover the pumpkin and pin around the stalk. 3. Paint the stem with black paint, and your pumpkin is complete.

Bat Pumpkins 1. Cut out different shaped bats from black paper or felt fabric. You can use stencils to get different shapes. 2.Using pva glue, place your bats in an upward flying motion. 3. Paint the stalk a dark colour. You can also paint the pumpkin for a different effect.

Studded Pumpkin 1. Carve your pumpkin, scary faces really do work well. 2. Paint your pumpkin, this can be any colour but is more effective if you can get studs that match. 3. Start to stud your pumpkin, studding in straight lines looks better than random placement. 4. Add more studs and even a little ribbon on the stalk.

I hope these pumpkins have inspired you to step outside the box when it comes to decorating your pumpkins this year. Rottentouch v-v
