A 100% DIY glitter Halloween decoration 🎃
From your living room to your garden, from your windows to your toilets, immerse yourself in the Halloween atmosphere with brilliant, simple and easy 100% DIY decorations to make with your family!
Today, we're talking to you about pumpkins! These hollowed and carved cucurbits were originally created to repel evil spirits, but today they have become essential symbols of Halloween.
The most classic technique is to cut the top of a pumpkin then empty it (don't forget to keep the flesh for cooking 🍽). Then, you have to hollow it out and cut out a face before placing a candle inside to make a scary character appear 👹
We offer you a new idea: a glitter pumpkin, to make easily with children ✨
The materials you need for a glitter pumpkin:
- A beautiful vegetable
- Biodegradable glitter (we released a special Halloween glitter kit 😉)
- Felt
- Strong glue
- A sheet of paper (to collect excess glitter)
Steps to follow for a spooky and brilliant Halloween decoration:
1. Choose your vegetable:
Start by selecting your vegetable. Traditionally, we use a pumpkin, but don't hesitate to opt for pumpkin, squash or any other vegetable that inspires you (even the traditional turnip carved in the British Isles long before the pumpkin 🧅🥦🥒🍅)
2. Select your glitter:
Opt for your favorite glitter. For a dazzling effect, we recommend the “ Medissco ” mix, fine black glitter with bursts of color! But you can give free rein to your imagination with other colors of course 🥰
3. Draw a face:
Using a marker, draw on the pumpkin (or vegetable) the shape of the face you want to give it. Let your creativity run wild, from mischievous smiles to scary faces 😈
4. Apply the glue:
Take some strong glue and fill in the drawn shapes carefully. Be careful not to use too much to avoid smudging.
5. Add the glitter:
Now for the fun part! 🎉 Generously sprinkle the glued areas with the glitter of your choice. To avoid losing excess glitter, place a sheet of paper under the pumpkin to easily collect it.
6. That's it, it's finished!
Let the glue dry and admire your beautiful glitter vegetable. For an even more unique and sparkling decor, don't hesitate to repeat the operation on vegetables of all shapes, sizes and colors with other glitter! 🎃✨
