Halloween, but make it fancy!
“Glam and glitter” instead of “trick or treat”: here’s our very girly alternative to carved pumpkins, created by the talented @Fork & Flower. We promise, no muscle work is needed for carving and it's a lot of fun to paint and decorate!
What you will need for these:
- White pumpkins (work best)
- Acrylic paint in the colors of your choice
- Crafts glue or glue gun
- Glitter (self-explanatory)
- Decorative diamonds, stickers, beads, sequins, petals, dried flowers…
- Any other decorative elements to your heart’s content
Paint the pumpkins with acrylic paint and let dry. This will take up to one hour or more, depending on how thick your coat is. Now your pumpkins are ready to be decorated.
We used a mix of dried flowers as hair, glitter, and decorative diamonds. And just got wild with the glue gun!
Now, you can decorate your home with your glittery gems. They look great pretty much anywhere – from the bedside table, living room table, windowsill, bookshelf, to the top of every chest of drawers, or even the dining table. Oh, Halloween, we’re ready for you!
