Spookify your space! Halloween is right around the corner. Grab a pumpkin—real, or craft—and get the kids busy decorating! No carving required.
What you'll need
Hunt up some items to glue on, or find some paint and come up with a colourful paint pattern. For my pumpkin, I chose to glue on some real leaves from my yard.
- Pumpkin
- Glue
- Paint
- Decorations (leaves, string, beads, etc.)
Step 1
Wash your pumpkin and let it dry thoroughly.
Step 2
Drizzle some glue randomly around the stem of your pumpkin and added some green glitter.
Step 3
After your decorations dry, use gold paint to make drips over it all for a little shine. My pumpkin will remain inside the house, so that the rain and wind will not affect it.
Let’s see what you can create with a pumpkin and whatever decorations you might find in your home or yard. Share your creations on social media using #KickstartCreativityHfX!
