Projects to make Halloween pumpkin decorations. As autumn approaches, we force to transform our home according to seasonal trends. The main goal is to prepare your cozy nest for the days to come. But, a second factor sets the tone for the themed interior: the Halloween party. Are you looking for a creative project to decorate your home with a spooky theme? Or do you want to add some autumn spirit to it? Here’s an excellent idea to adopt: make an easy and original pumpkin decoration. In the following article, we invite you to look at our 96 favorite pictures to try this year.

• Small brush
• DIY glue

The steps to follow:

2. Apply 2-3 coats of silver paint to the pumpkin and let it dry well.
3. Use glitter paint to paint the mice and snakes.
4. Attach the figurines to the pumpkin using glue.
5. You can add an LED candle inside the pumpkin (forget about real candles because fake pumpkins are flammable).

3. Now, we need to add the details to the pumpkin. Paint the teeth in white paint. Glue wiggly eyes.

If you want to create a well-worked pattern with borders and sequins, we recommend that you start by tracing the outlines in pencil.

Use the hot glue gun to secure the fabric strips to achieve a textured look, layer tassels, and pompoms.

Then twist the other colored bands. Glue the twisted pink bands to the top and bottom of the white band. Repeat the step with the different colors.
