Directions

  1. Prepare your pumpkin with spray paint or make sure it’s clean and dry.
  2. Lightly sketch your design onto the pumpkin with a pencil.
  3. 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.
  4. Create swirls by painting lines of color and then using a toothpick to draw a raindrop-like shape over them.
  5. Make spider webs by painting rings and then using a toothpick to drag lines from the middle to the outside multiple times.
  6. Add simple designs like drips, dots, or lines with the glow dimensional puffy paint.
  7. Let the pumpkin dry thoroughly before handling it.
