Crafty Henna Decorated Pumpkin

in craft tutorials, Fall Crafts, Halloween craft ideas

I was totally inspired by the Henna pumpkin that I found at Think Crafts .

I am not any good at carving pumpkins.

I’m not exactly an artist either when painting pumpkins.

This idea had me at puff paint! And I love the unique beauty in a white, short, plump pumpkin. Couple it with your best free handed Henna design and you’ve got magic!

Easy does not even explain it! And, you can purchase the faux pumpkins and reuse it year after year!

How easy is that!? You love it, don’t you?

Me too!

Great minds think a like! I have't gotten to it yet, but I bought a white pumpkin to do something very similar to, except I'm planning on using black rhinestones instead of puff paint.

I do love it, Crystal! I saw some of these done with rhinestones in a catalog for a ridiculous amount of money and have been thinking about a DIY alternative ever since! The puff-paint idea is the best I’ve seen so far!! Thanks for sharing!

Love what you did, I have had a little addiction to making over pumpkins lately, check out my blog to see some of them I have made over. It gets a little addictive.

Hi Crystal, This pumpkin is beautiful. I like the idea of painting and adding a design much better than the traditional jack-o-lantern. Thanks for sharing this idea. Gail (BibleLoveNotes.com)
