Directions
- Prepare your pumpkin with spray paint or make sure it’s clean and dry.
- Lightly sketch your design onto the pumpkin with a pencil.
- Paint the pumpkins with glow in the dark puffy paint, starting near the top and working down to avoid smearing. Use a Q-tip to clean up mistakes.
- Create swirls by painting lines of color and then using a toothpick to draw a raindrop-like shape over them.
- Make spider webs by painting rings and then using a toothpick to drag lines from the middle to the outside multiple times.
- Add simple designs like drips, dots, or lines with the glow dimensional puffy paint.
- Let the pumpkin dry thoroughly before handling it.
