10 Glow in the Dark Painted Pumpkins

Want to create the coolest pumpkin on the block this year?  Break out the Tulip Dimensional Paint a.k.a. Puffy Paint and create a glowing pumpkin that will get lots of oohs and ahhs from the neighborhood kids.  Here's just a few fun ideas that will help spark your creativity and get you into the Halloween spirit!

Glow Dimensional Fabric Paint

What you need:

The best paint for glowing pumpkins is Tulip Glow-in-the-Dark Dimensional Fabric Paint! You can buy this glow paint in a 6-pack (find it on our site here).   This paint comes in 6 diffferent colors and is activated by UV light.  Blacklights work great for activating the glow and making it glow super bright.

For this glowing pumpkin creation from Jade Harrington on the iLoveToCreate blog, you simply squeeze out the paint in a clockwise twist of the hand all around the pumpkin. You can play around with the thickness and colors of the paint too!

Mix it up with geometric designs on your pumpkin.  Cover your pumpkin in circles, squares, and triangles.  The all--over coverage makes this pumpkin a winner! See more here.

Here's a slight variation of the one above!  Jaderbomb squeezed the paint onto the pumpkin and let it drip out like it was melting. Then she took a heat gun and crackled the paint for this super cool effect! Get the tutorial here!
