Halloween kids arts and crafts: make a glitter pumpkin
Glitter Pumpkins
Instead of cutting a pumpkin open why not cover it with glitter and make it really sparkle. This project can be messy, but it is easy and fun to do! Spray your pumpkin with a matte finishing sealer to keep any of the glitter from falling off and preserve your masterpiece. Have fun!
Materials
- One small pumpkin or squash
- Glitter in any color you choose (an optional twist is to use one color for each section)
- White liquid glue
- Two sheets of scratch paper
- Paint brush
- Small container to hold glue
Steps
- Lay paper down first to catch extra glitter
- Squeeze a small amount of glue into container
- Paint a small section of the pumpkin with glue
- Holding the pumpkin over the paper, carefully pour glitter over pumpkin to cover all the glue
- Repeat until pumpkin is covered in glitter
- If any part of the pumpkin is still showing, dab a little bit of glue on to that spot and pour more glitter
- Using your sheet of paper, pour leftover glitter back into bottle
- Set pumpkin aside to dry over night
