Do you like to carve pumpkins? I am afraid I do not. I guess I am just not that skilled with the sharp instruments. Maybe it is just the messy pumpkin guts I can do without. Here in Arizona, pumpkins don’t last long in the heat either. I have definitely got a preference for painting them. This year I went all out and even bought craft pumpkins.
I had a brilliant plan to stencil my pumpkins but quickly found that was easier said than done. In order to do so, I would need more flexible, possibly adhesive stencils. I had my pumpkins, I had some time, and I was ready to roll. I improvised.
I didn’t want my stencil idea to be a complete waste so I used one with modeling paste. This worked out pretty well. I used the round sponge brush, featured in the picture below, to make polka dots on my pumpkin. I was brave and tried my hand at making a scripty greeting on my last one with paint pens. I added a little ribbon and a little ghost and “voila” my pumpkins were finished!
Super simple, easy to replicate, not too many expensive supplies. Happy Halloween!
I figured I should add the TryDay Friday I did for FSJ a few weeks back.

The guts are my favourite part. And the seeds and roasting the pumpkin to make cookies and muffins. Your pumpkins are beautiful.
