Mini Pumpkin Decorating

Last night we had friends over for a potluck and mini pumpkin decorating party.  I just love those mini pumpkins.  I was a little uncertain whether anyone would actually want to decorate a pumpkin; crafty activities can be hit or miss.  But it turned out to be pretty fun and many of our friends went home with a cute little pumpkin.  Here are some picture from the night:



We used paint pens which worked really well.  We also tried sharpies but they didn't show up well and then stopped working.  I also used some wire, toothpicks and card stock to make extra accessories.

  3. These are great! My husband brought home some mini-pumpkins today, and I was thinking my little ones would enjoy painting them. These give me some great ideas, too...especially the cat!

  7. So cute! What a great idea to get adults in to the spirit of the season, too. Makes me think of the other decorative gourds and putting faces on them, too. : )
