HALLOWEEN PUMPKINS LIKE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN

 

CANNOT WAIT FOR HALLOWEEN 2020, BUT DREADING THE MESSY PUMPKIN BIT? THEN FEAR NOT TRICK-OR-TREATERS, THIS YEAR’S SPOOKY STYLE IS ALL ABOUT PAINT!

 

If you’ve checked the likes of Pinterest recently (other online influences are
available), you’ll have seen a new cool craze for painting pumpkins!

 

Learn how to create pretty pumpkins in sweet and stylish pastel shades with
Rust-Oleum Furniture Paint and put some style into your Halloween celebrations.

 

With Halloween almost upon us, forget about the carving knife this year and have some wicked fun with paint instead for what’s bound to be your spookiest success, yet.

What you will need

  • Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Furniture Spray Paint
  • Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Furniture Paint (125ml)
  • Rust-Oleum Glitter Ultra Shimmer Paint
  • Paint brushes
  • Clean cloth
  • Paint stirrer
  • Pumpkins

Steps

  1. Taking a cloth and some warm water, wash your pumpkins thoroughly to
    remove any dirt or dust which could affect applying your paint.

    Allow your pumpkins to fully dry before moving onto the next step.

  2. Using a can of Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Furniture Paint, paint half or your pumpkin (we used the colour Duck Egg).

    Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Furniture Paint is perfect for small craft projects, as this water-based paint sticks to almost any surface, has virtually no odour and comes in 34 shades! Place your pumpkin to one side while it dries.

  3. Place your next pumpkin on a piece of newspaper in a well-ventilated area and spray half with Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Spray Paint, lightly misting the bottom half to create an ombre effect. We used the colour China Rose. Leave this to dry.

  4. Next, add some sparkle to your pumpkins with Rust-Oleum Glitter Ultra Shimmer Paint. Simply apply the glitter glaze over any pre-painted surface to provide instant full coverage with megawatt sparkle. We added a little glitter frosting to ours, but you could add glitter polka dots, stripes or paint the whole pumpkin!
