I was today years old when I learned I can PAINT my Halloween Pumpkins instead of carving them!!! 🤩

I’ve been carving pumpkins since my sons were little and it was a lot of fun…but using carving tools with little kids and making a big ol’ mess gets old (and scary) real quick.

My sons are not little anymore but Halloween is still a BIG deal in our home. So when my buddies from KingArt challenged me to create decorated Pumpkins using only KingArt materials I was super excited to participate and try something new.

I painted 3 awesome pumpkins with 3 adorable designs from my Tiny Tutorials and it was extremely fun!!!

Let me show you my adorable painted pumpkins!

Zombie Pumpkin

This Lime-head Zombie Pumpkin was inspired by one of my original Zombie designs from Halloweeny Tiny Tutorials. I used the stem to be his “hair”. Cute, right?

Adorable Pumpkin

How adorable is this Pumpkin?! This is a quick and easy design anyone can paint!

Skull Face Paint Pumpkin

When I was painting the other 2 pumpkins, I realized that painting pumpkins felt very similar to painting faces. So I painted this one as an ode to Face Painting. And yes, I painted the skull design using a face painting sponge…I’ll share the video soon!

The KingArt Materials I used:

KingArt Outdoor Acrylics

The Outdoor Acrylics are vibrant, go on smoothly and have such excellent coverage that I didnt even have to prime my Pumpkin. I just cleaned it and started painting.

KingArt Acrylic Paint Pens

I’ve never used Acrylic paint pens before, but let me tell you, these KingArt Acrylic Paint pens are incredible! I used the Medium Tip markers to outline everything on all my pumpkins. Just like regular acrylics, these pens provided amazing coverage and super vibrant colors. I gotta say, I will be using these awesome pens A LOT in my arts & crafts projects.

KingArt Original Gold Brushes

I used the KingArt Original Gold Brushes to paint my pumpkins with the liquid outdoor acrylics. These brushes were excellent! The Taklon bristles are dense, soft and have excellent snap-back. They were awesome for painting all of my pumpkins and I will definitely be using them again for all my other acrylic based arts & crafts projects.

In the gallery below you can see each pumpkin along with the amazing KingArt materials that I used to paint them.

I had a blast with this Pumpkin challenge! The KingArt materials made this a super enjoyable experience. It’s safe to say that I will NEVER carve another Pumpkin in my life and will only be painting them from now on.
