Glow in the Dark Pumpkin image

This spooky Halloween pumpkin glows in the dark. The jack-o-lantern face is formed by the areas that aren't coated with phosphorescent paint. The type of pumpkin you use will determine how long your glowing pumpkin will last. If you paint a carved jack-o-lantern, expect the pumpkin to last a few days to a week. An uncarved pumpkin may last a few months. An artificial pumpkin can be used year after year.

Number Of Ingredients 4

- a pumpkin
- glow in the dark paint
- paintbrush
- masking tape to form a jack-o-lantern face

Steps:

  • Basically all you need to do is coat a pumpkin with glow in the dark paint. The glow in the dark paint can be obtained from any arts and crafts store.
  • You can use glow in the dark acrylic paint for making models, glowing tempera paint, or glow in the dark fabric paint. I used glowing fabric paint, which dries clear and is waterproof.
  • For this project, the jack-o-lantern face is the part that does not glow. If you are using a carved jack-o-lantern, you've already got a face but it won't last as long as a whole pumpkin. If you just want a glowing pumpkin, you simply coat the pumpkin with glow in the dark paint, and you're finished. If you want a face on an intact pumpkin you have a couple of options for creating it:
  • 1. Trace a face on the pumpkin and paint around the face. 2. Tape a face on the pumpkin, paint the entire pumpkin, and remove the tape when the paint is dry
