Join us on a journey as we delve into DIY decorations and festive crafts that will elevate your pumpkin game to new heights! Let's pimp the pumpkin! 01. Pimp your pumpkin 02. Colour a pumpkin 03. Illuminate the night: Light up your pumpkin Pimp your pumpkin Forget the same old jack-o'-lanterns; it's time to pimp your pumpkin! Add a touch of glamour with stickers, beads, stamps, or other decorative items. Whether you're going for a chic metallic look or a sparkling gem-studded design, here's how to make it work: From shimmering beads to gleaming gems, pick your favourites from our vast collection. Sketch out your design on paper first. Whether it's a pattern, a word, or an abstract design, planning ahead ensures perfection. Use a strong adhesive or glue to ensure your decorations stay put. For a temporary design, double-sided tape works wonders. Colour a pumpkin Who said pumpkins have to be orange? Unleash your inner artist and colour your pumpkin in hues that reflect your personality. Here's how to get started: From pastels to neons, choose colourful paints and markers. Clean your pumpkin and start painting. Use brushes for detailed work and sponges for a textured look. Once your design is dry, use a clear sealant to protect your artwork from the elements. Illuminate the night: Light up your pumpkin Let your pumpkin be the beacon in the dark, guiding trick-or-treaters to your door. Here's how to make your pumpkin shine: LED lights, fairy lights, or even our glow-in-the-dark spiders can transform your pumpkin. Always ensure that any lights you use are safe for indoor and outdoor use. Battery-operated lights are a safer choice than candles. Hollow out your pumpkin and place the lights inside - and watch your pumpkin come alive! Pumpkins are the canvas of autumn, waiting for your creative touch. With these festive crafts and DIY decorations, you can transform the traditional Halloween pumpkin into a masterpiece. So, why stick to carving when we offer you a world of possibilities?
