Last year, I decorated a couple of pumpkins with metallic paint pens. And this year, I did it again. Its a lot less messy than carving and the possibilities are as endless as your imagination. Definitely a safe activity for kids from start to finish as well.
I just used a couple of metallic paint pens (silver and gold) to create different designs…
Now I have so many pumpkins, I am not sure I’ll have time to decorate them all!
If I was hosting a party or something, I would definitely give them away as party favors (maybe even customize each one with the person’s name for example). Great for kids parties especially!

This is so funny, I just saw theses tiny white pumpkins at my local market and was wondering what to do with them. Especially to make them look more “Halloweened”.
So thank you for this nice & easy tutorial.

Oh, that’s great Fanie. YEah, these mini pumpkins are great. And the best part is they were only $1 a piece, so very inexpensive as well!

Heidi Rohr commented on October 21st, 2010 at 1:51 pmCan you tell me where you found the metallic sharpies? I’ve been having trouble locating any.
Jessie commented on October 22nd, 2010 at 12:34 pmOf course Jessie. I found them at Jo Anns. They had several thicknesses and colors as well. But if you cant find them there or you don’t have a Jo Anns or another similar craft/hobby store nearby, you can get them on amazon right here

thanks for sharing.
Dolly commented on February 21st, 2012 at 1:19 pmGreat idea. Yesterday I saw where someone had painted several pumpkins with blackboard/chalkboard paint, all over. Then got the kids to draw faces on with chalk. They were all so different and the kids had a blast with the project. Wish I had thought to take pictures.
