: ) Now….depending on the consistency of your paint, you may want to add water to it just a drop or 2 at a time, to thin it a little of you need to at all. Because getting the paint dripping is the whole goal here.Īnd it was working for me. I just started pouring paint onto the pumpkin, right out of my cup, starting on the black where I had already painted black, and about the level where gravity would take over the paint. I imagine a foam brush would work fine enough as well.Īfter I had painted out the top all the way around, it was time to get messy. To begin the painting process though, I used a flat brush and painting out the top. So I just mixed them up together in a glass measuring cup, because the spout on the cup would be coming in handy. You’ll see what I mean in a little bit.īlack was the only color paint I’d be using, and I had two partial bottles in my storage. Especially at the top! Chances are paint is going to get under the vinyl somewhere, but the better you have those gaps closed off, the less clean-up on the pumpkin later. If you do this project, you really want to do your best to seal down the vinyl edges. Because I didn’t want paint to get under there. What I did want to be concerned with, was doing my best to close any gaping holes that formed at the edge of the vinyl where wrinkles were. I just made sure I went over every area of the vinyl with a lot of pressure with my squeegee. Of course it’s harder to apply to curving surfaces but anyway, but also, I wasn’t extra careful either because this is just a mask! I am using the vinyl to protect the pumpkin for where I do not want paint, and will later be peeling the vinyl letters back off. That’s ok! My husband is a professional master with vinyl (for real), but I’m not so much. Now you’ll notice it’s got wrinkles in it all over the place. So I properly positioned my vinyl design and applied it to my pumpkin. Or, you can copy my BOO, and I won’t BOO-HOO about it. Use your imagination and put some of your own style into it. Anyhoo, you can use any kind of graphic or word(s) you’d like for this project. You know, not a serious scare kind of thing, because I’m really not into that. I don’t know why, but I have always loved the whole BOO thing, for this time of year. I cut out an appropriate sized BOO! for my pumpkin, out of vinyl. Of course old newspaper or something else disposable will do. Unless they get real messy (and it sure will this time), you can use them over and over. I also covered my table as always, to protect it, with a cheap party table cloth, of which I always have a bunch on hand from the Dollar Tree store. So if you want your pumpkin craft for keeps, than faux is the way to go! You absolutely can use a real pumpkin if you’d like, but obviously it will not last beyond this season. I started with a medium sized faux craft pumpkin. I did however, decide I wanted to do a little pumpkin project I thought of, and I thought I would show it to you all, and tell you how I went about it. This year, however, I didn’t need to do much of anything, because I have all of last years stuff! So I’ve mostly just been doing little fall-fun crafts, and baking. There is some real creativity there, for you to see. I did a huge photo-galore post on it, and it’s a popular one, come that time of year again. Last year for the Halloween/Hallowtide season, I went bat **** crazy (no Halloween-pun intended ), with the decorating, inside and out. High School Senior Pictures Sneak Peeks.
