Celebrate Halloween with trendy painted pumpkins using Multi-Surface Acrylics!
SUPPLIES
- pipe cleaners
- rainbow package of tissue paper
- - 1/2" paint brush
- faux pumpkins
- pumpkin carving knife
INSTRUCTIONS
- Purchase two pumpkins (faux or real) - one stout/short and one tall.
- Grab your greens and feel free to mix them up for your desired shade of green. Then paint some cactus art on your tall pumpkin.
- Set your painted cactus pumpkin aside to dry. Grab your pumpkin carving knife and cut the top off of the short pumpkin. Remove the top and set aside.
- Next, turn your pumpkin over and choose your purple paint to add a scalloped border to the bottom of your pumpkin vase. Use the natural grooves as a guide for your scallops. Paint two coats for a solid purple.
- Once the purple is dry, make some tissue paper flowers (accordion style) and attach them to some pipe cleaners. Once you have a bouquet ready, place inside your vase.
- Next, use your pumpkins to style your Halloween Fiesta tablescape!
