Quick and Easy Painted Pumpkins for Halloween


Painted Pumpkins
 

Patterns and Polka Dots

For a perfect painted pumpkin, start with a clean, dry pumpkin. Lightly sand the surface and apply paint sealer to prevent flaking. Create a design with acrylic paint and then finish with a top-coat sealer.

For a cute polka-dot pumpkin, use an apple corer to cut "dots" from different-color pumpkins. Mix and match the colors of the pieces when you reinsert them into the pumpkins to create a multicolor look.
