Puffy Paint and create a glowing pumpkin that will get lots of oohs and ahhs from the neighborhood kids.

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.
