Do you all love Halloween?
You can get so creative with it.
It's so much fun to make your own decorations.
I was walking into a store and saw these MDF pumpkins.
I'll tell you how to decorate them.
Instead of MDF, you can also use sturdy cardboard or wood.
What you'll need:
LCD stamps,
and
Acrylic paint,
White, Black, Orange, Green.
Distress oxide, Musterd seed.
Color pencils or markers (whatever you prefer)
Brown marker/pencil.
Stencil to make the words.
A die to make the vines and leaves.
A quick tip:
If you prime MDF first, it will become rough.
Let the first coat dry thoroughly and then sand it smooth.
This is only possible after the first coat.
If you don't, sand the MDF after the first coat, it wont get smooth.
I applied 2 layers of orange paint.
Paint the stem with dark green paint.
And draw the lines of the pumpkin with pencil.
Now use a brown marker to draw the lines on the pumpkin.
Don't make a sharp line, but make it a bit smudgy.
apply a yellow glow between the lines.
While the pumpkins are drying, we'll continue with the stamps.
Stamp them onto thin paper with waterproof black ink.
Color them however you like and cut them out.
Once the pumpkins are dry we continue with black paint and the stencil.
I used a smal sponge to aply the paint.
Let the black paint dry.
In the meantime, we cut the leaves and vines.
I used two shades of green.
Now we'll glue everything onto the pumpkins.
And then it's done.

I really enjoyed making them.
