I had looked for the right size and shape of white pumpkin but, had trouble finding that perfect one. I decided to try the chalk paint to get the desired look. Now, I am not saying you need to go out and buy chalk paint for the pumpkins but, if you have a little left over; like I did, it works great!
The finish on the paint was perfect. The pumpkins covered well. To finish the look all I needed was a thick permanent marker and a fine Sharpie to smooth out the edges.
I just drew the designs right on the pumpkins freehand. You recognize this guy don't you?
The results were just what I was looking for. I have to mention too that the white pumpkins were selling for $5 a piece and the orange were $2.50. Win-win! Oh, that pumpkin on the right is Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Just for Marty's Cloche Party, I am sneaking in a picture of my next Halloween table. It had a cloche on it. This is the table I am posting next week. It is the table I created these pumpkins for. It is pure fantasy and a lot of fun, can anyone guess the theme? It is not The Nightmare Before Christmas.
