Touch up any jagged lines with a thin paint brush. You will most likely also need to fill in the crevice areas of the pumpkin that didn’t receive paint.
Wait! Don’t put away the paint brush and paints. This is the part where you can get very creative. Since you are working with paint, there is no reason you can’t do a second color or even a few colors. Here are a few tips and hints to make your pumpkins really stand out.
Once you have completed a layer of black paint on your stencil, reattach the stencil just above the black areas and repaint with a yellow. This creates a shadow effect.
But don’t be shy with the colors. Using reds, blues and greens can make your faces or scenes really stand out. You have the stencil to guide you in getting an image onto your pumpkin so now stretch your creativity and make it unique.
There are so many ways to have fun with Halloween Crafts! I often think that making the decorations is the most fun part of any occasion and Halloween is no exception. I hope you get the most of the projects found on this page and create some funky or scary art.
Want more pumpkin decorating ideas? Well, above we painted a craft pumpkin why not carve one. There's still no mess and it's awfully cute (I mean terrifying, yes definitely terrifying). Find out more about this Pumpkin Crafts project.
Happy Halloween and Happy Stenciling!
