Easy Pumpkin Painting Ideas

Let’s get creative this year with Painted Pumpkin Faces! This is a great outdoor activity along with making scarecrows for that autumn Halloween yard decor and a whole lot of fun!


Painting pumpkin faces is an amusing, enjoyable way for the whole family to get involved in decorating your porch or yard for the Halloween and the autumn season. Pick out nice pumpkins that don’t have a lot of bumps, are fairly smooth, and flat enough on the bottom to sit upright. Wash and dry them. Draw a design on paper to refer to before you start to paint. Trace or draw your design on the pumpkin. Use acrylic paint to paint your pumpkin. You may need a couple coats of paint. Let the first coat dry before applying the second coat. When it’s completely dry, spray a light coat of acrylic spray sealant on it.


Now rake the yard to get all the leaves you can to make scarecrows. This is a great way to clean up the yard before it starts snowing too. I’m sure you can find someone has some old clothes that don’t fit them anymore that you use to make awesome looking scarecrows. You can even use painted pumpkin faces for the heads of your scarecrows!
