Make Your Own Ceramic Painted Pumpkins
I added a tiny bit of white to the dark sage and a drop of yellow to the white paint so that the white pumpkins weren't too bright.
Here are a couple of other projects that I found using these same Oriental Trading pumpkins. There are so many fun ways to decorate them!

These look wonderful! And those ceramic pieces look like they are made really well, and still have lots of detail from the mold! Nice! Visiting from Dream Create Inspire!
Brandy says
Thank you, Julie!

I love these colors. I used very similar colors last year on these pumpkins and I'm still obsessed with them! I'd love for you to share your pumpkin project at the Make Life Pretty Monday link party beginning tonight at 8 pm! Hope to see you there!

I love the colors. And how the pumpkins come in various sizes. It makes for a lovely vignette.
Pamela Speers says
Could you list the names of the actual paints you used? Who knows, maybe I have that ten year old green already! I have been trying to find nice green shades for something like this for a long time, and I think you nailed it. Brands and names please?
Brandy says
So true! You may just have the same color in your stash!
Darker Green is: PLAID FolkArt #619 Poetry Green (I mixed a little white with it to tone it down)
Light Green/Blue is: MARTHA STEWART Satin #32022 Cloud
White: Apple Barrel #20503 White
Pamela Speers says
Thank you, Brandy, I will go check my paint stash!

Your pumpkins look great - I love the colors. I actually did try painting a dollar store styrofoam pumpkin and it turned out ok but it does look cheap. These are so much better!!

Love your mantel decorations with the cotton bolls and lambs ear. Hmmm, would love to have set of ceramic pumpkins could paint whatever colors I wanted. Glad for you to get them when you did. I painted a few orange plastic pumpkins from $ tree white, just couldn't deal with so much orange in our very light gray walls, little bit of coral and more aqua in our living room. Kept decorations more sparse this year. Our l/r is small so too much really makes it look cluttered. Hardly used much of what I had for decorations. Did do more out on our front porch table.
Your home looks so perfectly decorated, very nicely done.
Happy week
Brandy says
Thank you Jane! We have light grey walls and I felt the same way! Wanted more subtle colors than the traditional Halloween colors. Take care!
Marsha says
Oh my goodness...the possibilities are endless. It is amazing how a pumpkin can be decorated in so many ways. I love the subtle sage green pumpkins. Perfect for neutral colored decor. I would love to pair it up with burlap.
Brandy says
Thank you, Marsha!
karen martin says
what did you use to paint your pumpkins with (paint and applicator) i love the colors totally matches my decor
Brandy says
Hi! I used acrylic craft paint and craft paint brushes. I found that sponge brushes didn’t work as well as the regular art brushes for smooth strokes. Hope that helps!

I love those shades of green! Very pretty!

I absolutely love this project! Those pumpkins look stunning in your space. The gold against those soft, pastel greens is a beautiful colour combination. Beautiful results!
Brandy says
Thank you so much!
Mary-The Boondocks Blog says
These are really gorgeous shades of green and the pumpkins looks really unique painted like that. When you can't find what you need make it yourself!!
Brandy says
Thank you, Mary!
Michele says
?? they're sold out!
These are beautiful & love that color!!
Brandy says
I know, such a bummer! I ordered mine on Sunday and they came Thursday. So in just that amount of time they sold out! I'm sure they'll stock them again quickly. They had them last year too, apparently so it's one of their popular items!
Michele says
I can see why!!
