I love all-things autumn and that includes Halloween! But unlike lots of people, I don’t do scary. There’s enough scary in the world without me adding to it…(I know, that’s just me 🙂 ) But I’m all about kid-friendly Halloween decorations!
This year I felt like adding a little star-dust (aka-glitter) to my Halloween decorations-and I started with this cute pumpkin!
I mean, what says ‘magic’ like a glitter pumpkin!?
Black and silver pumpkins…kinda magical don’t ‘cha think!?
I started with an orange styrofoam pumpkin and painted it black using Americana Acrylic …
When the pumpkin was dry I took a craft brush (1 and 1/2 “) and some silver DecorArt Glamour Dust Glitter Paint …
And simply swiped the pumpkin – from the stem downward…
This glitter paint is ultra fine and perfect for that star dust effect, but you can add coats if you want more of the glitter to show up!
(I’ll be using this DecoArt Glamour Dust Glitter Paint for projects all through the holiday season, it comes in lots of colors…)
And if you want a little more kid-friendly Halloween inspiration HERE are my Halloween Party Favors…
In case you missed it, I have some fun kid friendly ideas for decorations and games for your Fall/Halloween party! HERE
Sending love my friends ~ xo
My friends at DecoArt provided paint for this project…but the opinions on that paint are all mine~ xo

Diana, I love this paint…no kidding, I’ve already used it on another project …it’s so fine, just beautiful ! xo
Hi Robin! I just recently found you on U-Tube and have been inspired by your videos so I thought I would check out your blog too! Love it. I was so inspired by your book page pumpkins that I made a decoupage version too. I just might have to try this paint and glitter one also. Have a fun day – Jeannette
Hello Jeannette! I’m so happy to meet you! I’m behind on youtube videos so I’m glad you popped in here for a visit! Looking forward to talking to you again soon! ox
Love the pumpkins! I’m not huge into “scary” either. Especially now that I have two little ones. I love that glitter dust paint. I am going to have to pick some up for myself. I can think of quite a few projects that it would be perfect for!
Rachel…this glitter paint works for every season! Have a great day friend ox
Wow! What a great addition to any craft. Thanks for informing me about Glamour Dust Glitter Paint. It’s awesome.
Hi Meegan! You will love the paint! xo
That paint looks super cool. Sometimes when you add glitter, it gets too thick… love that this glitter in in the paint. Cool!
Malia, it’s really thin and the glitter is super fine! thanks for having a look …give the paint a try, I think you’ll love it! ox
I love crafty pumpkins – especially when they are painted with glitter!
Such a great idea!!
Thanks so much Angie! xo
I love it turned out so cute!
Oh! I love that Glamour Dust Glitter Paint. I had never heard of it before. It would be nice to have for Christmas decorations too. I agree with you on “not scary” for Halloween. I like keeping it cute. xxoo
