To prepare for the month of Halloween, it’s time to start decorating those pumpkins! However, instead of the basic Jack-o’-Lanterns, maybe it’s time to try something different…we created this distressed damask and skeleton pumpkin. Here’s how!
Gather all of your supplies: pumpkin, stencil brushes, paint, and stencils
We kept it simple and on-trend with black and white paint for our Damask Traditional & Skeleton stencils. We also have two different brushes to use on each of our colors. Since the skeleton is 8.5″ x 11″ and the Damask is 11″ x 11″, we have a large pumpkin to paint on. But we always encourage creativity, so the choice of paint and how many colors you want to use is up to you. If you choose from our smaller stencil collection, you can definitely create a miniature version of the Jack-o’-Stencil.
Place your stencil and start painting. We started with the Damask stencil and painted it black. We repeated this three times around the pumpkin, leaving space for the skeleton between each damask.
Once that dried, we placed the Skeleton stencil and used white paint. Again it’s your choice in what paint and stencils you want to decorate your pumpkin with, we have a variety of choices in our Halloween collection!
Repeat the skeleton three times as well.
Finally, your Jack-o’-Stencil is complete and it’s time to show it off!
