Spray Painting Pumpkins

Post by Spooky » Tue Sep 19, 2006 11:09 am

I did this one year, and they were so beautiful. You take gold spray paint and spray a DRY pumpkin, and then you spray it was spray adhesive and sprinkle glitter all over them...they last weeks and they are so nice.

I never thought about painting them other colors...like black!! Wow! I am going to do that too, I have glitter. I am going to sprinkle gold and silver glitter on them after painting them.

I fought for a while but I bought it today and wow. Her Spooky Sounds cd is pretty good! I'm listening to it at work. Yeah, that's how I know I'm a freak. LOL Whenever I'm feeling some Halloween blues, I throw on a sound effects cd, either Halloweeny music or creepy sounds and I feel better. It was only $9 at Tower. Pick it up if you haven't already. :wink:

Hey I think spray painting a pumpkin black sounds awesome, I think I will try that this year, does anyone know if you have it give the pumpkin a light sanding to get the paint to adhere to the surface?

No, just make sure it is dry. It will stick. I painted pumpkins black this past year. There are photos of them on here under the decorating thread. They were cool, I used the spray adhesive on them and put gold glitter on them.

I love Martha because I'm not entirely convinced that she is not the Prince(ss) of Darkness :twisted:

Spray paint on pumpkins is okay, Jack-O-Lanterns must be natural. In my humble opinion.
All you that doth my grave pass by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.
