It’s that time of the year when pumpkins are going to become vital for Halloween decorations and to add style and fun to fall decorating. Carving pumpkins is the biggest fad but it’s not for everyone. If you have an artistic bent, try painting pumpkins to showcase them everywhere – indoors or outdoors – as your decorating needs may demand.
You can paint pumpkins in any form or color, any theme or pattern, so involve your kids in the activity. The end result can be anything from scary to cute but the reaction you’ll get from the guests coming over will surely make your day. We have listed a few easy pumpkin painting ideas for your inspiration that can be left alone for long after the spookiness is gone and the colors of fall invade us.
