Build a House
There is no dearth of ideas that you can use to paint your pumpkins this year. Just keep an open mind, an eye out for sparkling ideas, and add a dash of creativity to your decorations this Halloween. Have fun!
- Pick colors that blend well with the décor that you intend to go with this Halloween.
- Choose a pumpkin that has a nice shape with a smooth surface. An uneven surface can be used creatively if you have the knack. An odd bump on the surface can be used for a nose.
- You can choose to use stencils to create your design if you are not too confident with the brush. Tape these stencils over the pumpkin and then use your brush to paint over it. Peel off the stencil.
- Acrylic paints are best used to paint faces on pumpkins. Apart from acrylic paints, you can use spray-painting methods. Permanent markers or inks are useful for those who don't wish to try something too elaborate.
