In the spirit of Halloween and all things spooky, I have been doing a couple DIY Halloween Decorations. I really wanted to have some big pumpkins in the house, but I do not trust Bailey to leave them alone. I can just imagine coming home to a pumpkin explosion all over the white carpet. So instead of real pumpkins, Michael's had a sale on their fake pumpkins. I bought 3 along with some paint and went to work.
For the supplies and the pumpkins the total was only $20.
I started painting. The pumpkins are kind of waxy so it did take quite a few coats of black paint to completely cover them. If I were to do this project over I would recommend trying spray paint instead. After they completely dried I used to white paint to decorate them with a spider, a cat, and the word EEK!.
Here is the finished product.
I love how they turned out.
I also made a couple adorable mice cutouts and stuck them around the house. They look like they're scurrying around the baseboards. The template to print these out and make them yourself is included in the link below.
Happy Decorating!
