Glitter Pumpkin
Paint the pumpkin white and allow to dry, draw swirls on with the glitter glue and pearl pens, you can do this free hand, with a stencil or by drawing on them first. Use Pearl pens to add dots around the swirls. Cover the pumpkin stalk with silver glitter paint.

Chalk Board Pumpkin
Paint the pumpkin with black chalkboard paint and allow to dry, draw a pattern on the pumpkin using the chalk pens, start at the top working your way down the pumpkin. Our design was inspired by the day of the dead festival.
