Create a beautifully painted pumpkin to add to your fall decor!
Don't you just love fall? The weather, the colors, and the pumpkins!!
Pumpkins are such a fun way to decorate for fall. They are great for both indoors and out, and there are so many fun ways to use them!
This painted pumpkin is super easy to make, and don't worry you can use a stencil so you don't have to paint by hand.

How to Make a Painted Pumpkin
To begin, take the stencil and a pencil and trace the vines around the pumpkin. You can trace as many vines as you want. Close together or far apart, the design of the pumpkin is completely up to you.
Trace the vines around the entire pumpkin. I wanted mine mostly full with only a little space between the vines.
The next step is painting, but don't worry you don't need paint and a paintbrush. All you need is a gold Painters marker.
Simply color over your traced outlines and fill in. Start on one side of the pumpkin and move your way around until you have colored the entire pumpkin.
The finished pumpkin is so pretty! This is definitely home decor I will bring out and put on display year after year.
These painted pumpkins are so easy to make that you could easily make several to add to your home decor.
Wouldn't this painted pumpkin look so cute on display with this Book Page Pumpkin?

Great tutorial and video. Looks so great but a really simple project! In the UK we don't make as much fuss about decorating for the different seasons but I love the way in the US you do. I really should start taking on this tradition. Fall is actually my favourite season too, well apart from the rain. Over from Funtastic Friday
