painted pumpkins faq

Can I paint real pumpkins? Yes!

Can I later bake painted pumpkins? We don’t recommend it.

How long will painted pumpkins last? Fake pumpkin paint will last forever. Real pumpkins will rot within a couple of months, faster if you live in a warm climate. This is dependent if you house your pumpkins indoors or outdoors.

Do I need to seal painted pumpkins? This isn’t a bad practice. They’ll become scratch resistant by doing do. We recommend this sealer. Be sure get it in the sheen you prefer: you can totally change the look with high-gloss versus matte, depending on your preference.

I simply piled the baking powder pumpkins in a dough bowl and then paired them with a vintage scale, books, and a wooden corbel. (Can you believe this corbel is an old farmhouse shelf holder? I love it as simple decor now 🙂

Pumpkins look really cute on different height surfaces. Think about stacking books and adding pumpkins.

Cake stands are an easy way to add different layers to a mantel too.

We like to use found items around our house and then add pumpkins all over to create a cozy vibe.
