Materials

  • Plastic Jack-O-Lantern - I found this one at Dollaramma for $5.
  • Rustoleum Flat White Spray Paint - you could use glossy too but I love the flat finish that this pumpkin has. Rustoleum is an awesome paint to use on plastic check out how it held up on our playground slide!
  • Permanent Black Sharpie Markers - I used three different tip sizes.
  • Diffuser for Essential Oils - this one from Amazon is a favorite and fits perfectly in the Jack O Lantern.
  • Sharp knife exacto knife or scissors.

Instructions

  • 1. Place the plastic jack o lantern on a clean, dry surface covered in newspaper or a drop cloth.
  • 2. Prepare the spray paint by giving it a good shake.
  • 3. Spray paint the entire pumpkin white. Allow the paint to dry between coats. You will need 2-3 coats of paint for good coverage.
  • 4. Use a sharp knife to carefully carve out a section at the back of the pumpkin that is large enough to fit the diffuser in.
    5. Use a black sharpie to draw festive Halloween designs all over the pumpkin.
  • 6. Finally, place the diffuser inside of the pumpkin and turn it on.
