Glow-in-the-Dark Eyeball Pumpkin {Tutorial}

Super easy to make this creepy pumpkin!

1. Supplies: Faux or real pumpkin, Martha Stewart Glow-in-the-Dark découpage, Martha Stewart Eyeball Decoupage paper cut outs, brush

2. Brush on the decoupage onto the pumpkin, then onto the back of the eyeball paper. Place the eyeball onto the pumpkin and brush more decoupage on top.

3-5 I placed the large size eyeball first and then the medium sized one and then filled in with the little eyeball.

6. Coat over the entire pumpkin with the glow-in-the-dark decoupage. I ended up doing 5 layers because I really wanted it to glow. I used a blow-dryer to speed up the dry time.

It looks creepy during the day...

And really cool creepy at night when it glows!

{You just need to give it a good charge under a light to get it to glow.}

Check out more fun projects on the 12 Month of Martha Pinterest board!

***Disclosure: I was supplied with the Martha Stewart craft supplies but my opinions are always honest!***

Mr. Mustache Pumpkin #12MonthofMartha

***This post is written as part of the 12 months of Martha program. I get craft supplies from Martha Stewart Crafts for free to create fun crafts with. All my projects and opinions are 100% mine.***

This months box of Martha crafts came with Halloween supplies (of course!) I have created several Halloween crafts with this months box and here is the first one!

I have jumped on the mustache bandwagon and created a mustache stenciled pumpkin... it is super easy! And you can make it too! You can find the Halloween Martha Craft supplies as Micheals Craft Stores,

1. Supplies: Faux or real pumpkin, Martha Stewart Craft paint (I used metallic silver), Martha Stewart pumpkin adhesive stencils.

2. Place your stencils on the pumpkin. Make sure to press down and seal all the edges.

3. Dab the paint on. I had to do 3 coats on mine to get the coverage I wanted. I used a blow dryer to speed up the dry time.

4. It only come with one eye stencil so you have to move it to make the other eye too.

Remove the stencils. You may want to use a fine craft brush to clean up any rough edges around the stencils.

My daughter has named him "Mr. Mustache"
