Fall is here, so it is time to pull out everything pumpkin for my decor! I recently picked up a set of 3 plain ceramic pumpkins to decorate. You could use these ideas on foam or real pumpkins as well!
I used supplies I already had on hand to decorate these pumpkins, so I did not have to spend any extra money! I guess that's the benefit of hoarding craft supplies!
For the Polka Dot Pumpkin:
I squirted a small dollop of the black acrylic paint onto a paper plate and dipped the eraser into the paint. I used the eraser to paint polka dots randomly on the medium sized ceramic pumpkin until it was covered all the way around.
For the Pom Pom Pumpkin:
I used some scraps of pom pom trim I had laying around to decorate this one. I cut the trim so I would have 4 pieces. (2 orange and 2 black) I then used the Glue Dots to attach the trim vertically in the creases of the pumpkin; I tried to space it evenly as possible. You could also use a hot glue gun, but I had a pack of glue dots on hand and that allows me to change it up later.
For the Glitter Spider Pumpkin:
This one was the easiest! I simply used 2-3 Glue Dots on each spider to randomly attach them to the pumpkin.
I added these to my spooky mantel to create fun and glittery Halloween decor.
