How are you enjoying the autumn season? This the season for apples, pumpkins, scarecrows, costumes and haunted houses. Not forgetting the many, many fun fall festivals. Have you had a chance to attend one yet?

Well, if you want to have a little fall fun at home, try doing some pumpkin painting and decorating. Definitely a safer option to pumpkin carving. Even really young kids can do this. If you want to paint some really cute pumpkins, it is not that difficult. Easy Pumpkin Painting will show you step-by-step how to paint pumpkins that will get your neighbors talking.

Here are some ideas on what you can paint on your pumpkin:

• Ghosts
• Dracula
• Bats
• Witches
• Aliens
• Robots
• Owls
• Bears
• Monsters
• Goblins
• Funny Faces
• Spiders

Some good colors to get are purple, white, green, black, silver and brown.

To make your pumpkin a little more awesome, glue-gun some embellishments and accents. For example, you could add raffia or corn hucks for hair. Create eyes using styrofoam balls. Hats adds a nice touch too. Be creative and use leaves, beads, buttons, sequins and scarves.

If you’re not very good in painting images, you can opt to paint patterns like stripes, polka dots or shapes.

Want to make your pumpkin sparkle? Some Glamour Dust will do the trick. Just sprinkle some on before the paint dries.

You can lots of fun with pumpkin painting. Let your creative juice flow.
