Of course, you can use real pumpkins for this project, but if you opt for faux, you’ll be able to use them year after year. Use bright orange, green, and black paint to make a festive Halloween decoration, or choose neutral colors to create a display all season long. No matter what colors you choose, we’ll show you how to pour the paint and tip your pumpkins for just the right look. We started with a base color and poured paint near the pumpkin’s stem. Once the paint begins to run down the side of the pumpkin, you can tilt, rotate, and tap the pumpkin against the table to keep the paint dripping. If you don’t want the colors to mix, let this layer of paint dry before adding more. To get a marbled look, apply another color directly on top of this layer before it dries.
