painted pumpkin idea {easy sharpie-painted pumpkin}

No art skills necessary! This painted pumpkin idea uses paint markers and is so simple, even a beginner can do it. If you’re looking for an easy way to decorate pumpkins, you’re in the right place.

Fall is here, and what better way to celebrate than with an easy painted pumpkin! I’m serious when I say, no art skills are necessary. All you need is a white pumpkin, Sharpie paint markers, and about an hour!

Start by using your paint markers to make floral shapes around your pumpkin. Color in and let dry.

Take a different color marker (I used these paint markers, which have a finer point), and draw little curved dashes around your flowers, simulating petals. Take a green paint marker and draw simple curved lines for vines, and oval leaf shapes.

Such a fun and easy way to add a dose of fall decor to your home!
