How to paint Halloween pumpkins

Autumnal aesthetic or totally terrifying?

 

Paint your own pumpkins this Halloween for a fangtastic twist on a classic tradition. Our all-new Pumpkin Paint is a durable, satin craft paint that comes in 100+ creepy colours and enchanting metallic finishes, while our Glow in the Dark and Rainbow Glitter Paint is perfect for that extra touch of black magic. Ready to get started? Just follow this scarily easy tutorial.

You will need:

·         Rust-Oleum Pumpkin Paint

·         Rust-Oleum Glow in the Dark Paint 

·         Rust-Oleum Rainbow Glitter Paint

·         Rust-Oleum Universal Gold 

·         Paintbrushes

·         A clean cloth

·         Pumpkins!


Step 1

Remove any dust or dirt from your pumpkins by cleaning them with a cloth and some warm water. Make sure your pumpkins are dry before applying the paint.

Step 2

Next, use the Pumpkin Paint and a paintbrush to paint the base colour of your pumpkin before allowing to dry. We chose pastels Violet Macaroon, Mustard, Pink Champagne and Dijon for a chic, playful vibe, and deep purple Grape Soda, black Natural Charcoal and metallic Copper for a spookier effect. 

 

Rust-Oleum Pumpkin Paint is perfect for all kinds of craft projects and is ideal for other Halloween decorations made from wood, cardboard, ceramic and more!

Step 3

It’s all about the details. Once your pumpkins have dried, add the shimmering finishing touch with our Pumpkin Paint, Rainbow Glitter Paint, Glow in the Dark Paint or Gold Universal Paint. Paint the stalk of your pumpkin a complementary colour or apply gold and copper for a spellbinding effect. Add glitter frosting for a distressed look or, to really get into the Halloween spirit, decorate with spooky moons and sparkling stars.


And that's it!

Forget the carving knife this year and celebrate Halloween with hand-painted pumpkins in scary or stylish colours. Turn your home into a bewitching abode and trick or treat yourself to a spooktacular makeover.
