How to make a Halloween Disney Pumpkin
Painting your own Disney pumpkin is as easy as choosing your favorite Disney character, and the painting a pumpkin to look like that character!
If you’re not artistic, you can make a character inspired pumpkin that uses colors from the character, and small details like a crown or a red rose to decorate it too!
Use the ideas below to see how you can turn a pumpkin into your very own Halloween Disney pumpkin!
Painting Pumpkins Tips
- Paint. Most of these tutorials call for acrylic paint, which will be the best option!
- Sealing. If you plan to have your pumpkin outdoors, be sure it’s sealed so the weather doesn’t destroy your masterpiece!
- Pumpkin. Fake pumpkins will work best for painting pumpkins, but real ones can work too! Just keep in mind, if you use a real pumpkin your painting will have an expiration date!
