Top Tip
Make sure the paint dries thoroughly before adding your next layer.
How to Make



- Clean your pumpkin with soapy water and dry thoroughly.
- Use a sponge paint dabber to cover the pumpkin in white acrylic paint. You may need a few coats to cover the pumpkin evenly. Allow to dry.
- Mix some purple acrylic paint and white acrylic paint to make your light-purple paint. Use a sponge paint dabber to cover the pumpkin in the light-purple paint. Allow to dry.
- Mix some orange acrylic paint and white acrylic paint to make your light-orange paint. Write the word ‘Spooky’ in big letters with a pencil, then go over your outline with the light-orange paint, using a small paintbrush. Alternatively, you can use self-adhesive glitter felt letters.
- Paint the pumpkin stalk light-orange.
- To make your ghosts, stamp some white circles around your ‘Spooky’ using a paint dabber. Then, with a small paintbrush, make a V-shape to make the ghosts tail and fill it in with white paint. When dry, use the black deco pen to make two circle eyes.
- In the gaps between your ghosts, draw some bat silhouette shapes with the black deco pen.
- To finish your spooky pumpkin, stick on purple self-adhesive gems to the spaces that are left in between the ghosts and the bats.
