Learn how to properly paint pumpkins from Dollar Tree to look like faux baby boos. These white painted pumpkins look great as part of a neutral fall decor color scheme. Adding a few finishing touches will make them look almost like the real thing!
Paint two coats of chalk paint, waiting about 20 minutes in between coats.
Once the chalk paint is completely dry, add depth in between the pumpkin segments by mixing a small amount of brown and camel-colored acrylic paint. Dilute with the white chalk paint for a smoother finish.
Blend the brown paint in the creases like you would eyeliner, smudging the paint to look more realistic.
Paint the stems with the brown paint, and add camel-colored highlights to make it look more authentic.
Notes
You may choose to add a matte sealer if you desire. However, these painted pumpkins should last indoors as long as they remain dry.
