Painted Peachy Pink Pumpkins

Fun fall pumpkin idea! Easy DIY Painted Peachy Pink Pumpkins color block style! I decorated pink pumpkins using two colors, pink blush and copper paint, topped with sprinkles of copper glitter! For more pumpkin projects, see my Fall + Thanksgiving page.

Have you seen all the fun color block decor trends popping up this year? Why not use that concept when crafting with pumpkins? I used the ever-popular pink blush color along with metallic copper acrylic paint. Sprinkled some fine copper glitter on top for a shiny pop!

Glitter pumpkins are easy to make; you just tape off one half of the pumpkin and paint it. When it dries, you tape off and paint the other section.

There are so many color combos you could use to match your decor. These decorated pink pumpkins would make a beautiful Thanksgiving Day tablescape pop and sparkle!

Add a fun masquerade mask to the copper pumpkin, and it becomes a Halloween sensation! Masks on pumpkins are so fun.

What kind of paint do you use on foam pumpkins?

I used acrylic matte paint and shiny acrylic metallic paint. When painting over foam, you need to apply several coats for full coverage.

Here’s what you need to make these beauties!
