DIY paint and glitter pumpkins

Here’s a quick and easy DIY- Paint and Glitter Thrifted Pumpkins, that’s great for anyone with a short attention span and a love of glitter. This project takes about 30 minutes (paint drying time included) so gather up your basic pumpkins and let’s get started!

You will need:

pumpkin

paint (any color)

paintbrush

glitter (any color)

newspaper or other paper to keep the mess contained

bowls

plastic spoon

spray adhesive

To keep the mess in check I used leftover packing paper (from helping a friend move) but newspapers would work great too.

For the full tutorial watch this quick video for the DIY process of how to paint and glitter thrifted pumpkins from a charity shop, thrift store or craft store just in time for Halloween and/or Thanksgiving. Easy holiday decor DIY- you can give old fall decor a new look by repurposing pumpkins with color and glitter of course.

It’s a great, easy DIY project for kids or beginners looking to learn the art of upcycling.
