Halloween Ceramic Painting Tutorial - How To Paint A Ceramic Pumpkin - DIY Halloween Crafts - Decor

In this video, I'll show you how to paint a plain unfinished ceramic Halloween decoration to transform it into a rustic, vintage style art piece! These stacked jack-o-lanterns were an unfinished ceramic piece from Joann Fabrics, but these painting techniques would work on other Halloween decorations from other stores as well! Learn how to give your decorations rustic textures, vintage patina, & bold lines with this easy step by step Halloween craft tutorial! I chose to switch out the battery operated light to a plug-in clip light reminiscent to the older Halloween ceramic decorations (using a Christmas village house clip light). Give your light up Halloween decoration a warmer glow by using an orange light bulb like I did!
Other info:
I used a mix of chalk paint & acrylic. I prefer chalk paint but didn't have all the colors I needed in chalk paint so I used acrylic instead (which works great too).
The Ceramic Stacked Pumpkins are from Joann Fabrics
Chalk & Acrylic Paints can be found at a variety of craft stores as well as in the Walmart craft section.

Hey there! I just finished watching your video, and I'm absolutely amazed by the color choices you used on that jack o' lantern stack from Joanne. The way you blended those rich, autumnal hues made the pumpkins come alive, and I found myself totally captivated by your creativity and technique. This is exactly the kind of art that makes me love the Halloween season even more. Thanks for sharing your talent with us, and please keep these inspiring videos coming! 🎃🎨

[@janicewaters6300]

Great job. Everything you do is great. I love Halloween and love to decorate for it but I am the only one on the street that does. Wish I lived next to someone like you

[@ChristopherHiedeman]

Thank you! When we moved here about 4 years ago, we were mostly the only house on the street that decorated for Halloween and Christmas. Each year more and more houses seem to join & last year more houses on the street were decorated then were not, so it can change :)
