Halloween New Creations and Some Old Time Favorites

We love Halloween!

Especially when we get to combine 

a few of our favorite things: 

Paint + Glitter +  A Kid's Imagination

This year we have made a few new pumpkins and 

brought back some of our favorites from last year. 

We went to our local farm, 

but Trader Joe's has great pumpkins for $2.99. 

A 4 years old boy's vision... a minion. 

An 8 years old girl's idea... a unicorn.

PUMP-kin IT UP!

I have never been much of a pumpkin carver, 

I have great respect and admiration for those who are. 

I can, however, paint a pumpkin. 

Here is a batch of designs for inspiration 

and a batch of designs that you CAN 

actually do with your children. 

We will break down the steps below. 

INSPIRATION

TRULY POSSIBLE FOR KIDS

Last Halloween smallSHOP partnered up with 

Petit Bateau Beverly Hills for some holiday art.

It was a fun filled afternoon with 

sweet little artist and great pumpkins 

for their doorsteps. 

Here are a few simple painted pumpkins that 

your kids can TRULY DO THEMSELVES. 

1. MODERN SPIRAL STRIPES 

Get thin tape and wrap away. 

Paint with layers of white paint, 
letting it dry in between layers. 

Once dry, gently pull tape and voilà. 

For a shiny finish, mix Mod Podge in the paint or 
paint a layer on after it is dry. 

2. BLOCK COLOR TOPS

Get a thicker tape and decide how much color 
you want on top. Choose your color and paint. 

Paint a few layers and the stem too. 

For a matte finish leave it be, 
for some shine Mod Podge it. 

3. POLKA DOTS

For orange (pumpkin colored) polka dots:

 simply place dot stickers 
(any office supply store will have) 
all over the pumpkin. 

Choose your color and paint a few layers. 

Once dry peel them off. 

For a different color combo: 

Paint the pumpkin a solid color of your 
choice and wait to dry. 

Add the dots and paint a few layers. 

Once dry, peel off and there you go!

4. HERE KITTY KITTY

Tape stripes and paint the pumpkin white. 

Let dry, then with a sharpie or black paint add eyes, 
nose, mouth and whiskers. Use paper to make 
double sided ears and place a toothpick inside and glue, leaving about an inch left out to stick into the pumpkin. 

Or you can check out pre-made cupcake kits, 
they have fun ideas that can be translated to a pumpkin. 

5. SPARKLY PUMPKIN

Paint it one color mixed with mod podge. 

Cover in glitter. 

Leave to dry. 

6. MUMMY

Paint layers of white paint (or get a white pumpkin). 

Get a paint pen and draw the wrapped 

gauze. Draw eyes and eye balls. 

7. MAKE UP YOUR OWN

And please share with us!

Happy October!

Always,
