Plaid Painted Pumpkin

BluePumpkin6 300x300 Plaid Painted Pumpkin

Are you as obsessed with decorating pumpkins as we are here at SBLC?  What a fun time of year for creative festivity.  There are some amazing painted pumpkins circulating out there.  I was inspired by some of the plaid painted designs to create my own.  Grab some painters tape and join me!

Supplies:

Painters tape, pumpkin, acrylic paint in colors of your choice

Instructions:

Tape off stripes and paint!  I just randomly placed my stripes as I went.  No plan.  You may want to have a plaid pattern in front of you for inspiration, or just wing it.  When you switch colors, make sure the paint is dry before applying tape over it.  I used my handy heat tool to speed along the drying process.  Simple as that!

What do you think.  How are you decorating your pumpkins this year?

How cute! We’re just going old school with carved pumpkins, since this will be the first year the little one will be able to really enjoy it. Maybe I’ll do some pumpkin decorating for Thanksgiving! Thanks for sharing!
