Easy Color Block Pumpkin
Color block pumpkins are a fun and stylish way to add a modern touch to your fall decor. By painting sections of the pumpkin in bold and contrasting colors, you can create a striking visual impact that stands out from traditional orange pumpkins. This creative twist on a classic symbol of autumn brings a playful and contemporary feel to your home, making it a perfect DIY project for the whole family to enjoy. Whether you opt for vibrant hues like teal, pink, and gold or stick to a more subdued palette, color block pumpkins are sure to add a fresh and cheerful vibe to your seasonal decorations. So, grab your paintbrushes and unleash your inner artist to transform ordinary pumpkins into eye-catching pieces of art that will brighten up your home this fall.
Supply To Make Painted Pumpkin
- Any size pumpkins work great for this project. The larger pumpkin would need more paint to cover the surface.
- Use acrylic paint or spray paint. The foam brush makes applying paint on the pumpkin much easier than the paintbrush.
- Mini pumpkins or any size pumpkins
- Acrylic paint, any colour. I use red, blue, turquoise, and purple.
- Foam brush
- Painter tape (optional)
Painted Color Block Pumpkin Tutorial
Clean the pumpkin’s surface from dirt using a paper towel or a dry towel.
Wrap the pumpkin with the painter’s tape around the center circumference.
Apply a coat of paint around the top part of the pumpkin.
Let the paint dry. I let it dry for about 20 minutes.
You can apply several coats of paint. Just make sure the paint is dry before adding another coat.
Remove the painter’s tape carefully.
Apply a different paint color on the other side of the pumpkin.
Put the pumpkin upside down by positioning it on the paper plate or something that can hold it in the same position until the new paint dries.
Apply more coats of paint if needed.
I keep the pumpkin stem on its original color, but certainly, you can paint it with a different color.
Gather more different sizes and shape pumpkins, then paint them with mix-and-match colors for a more fun decor theme.
