I created a decoupage photo pumpkin with some of my favorite pictures of him… I know it seems a little obsessive, but how cool is it?! I also used a faux pumpkin so I can have it for years to come. This perfect decoupage photo pumpkin can be a Halloween decoration for years to come!

You Will Need (4 things)

  • Faux Pumpkin
  • Black and white Photos
  • Modgepodge
  • Paint Brush

Steps (6 steps, 240 minutes)

  1. 1

    Gather your materials: A faux pumpkin, black and white photos, Mod Pog and a paint brush.

  2. 2

    Print about 50 of your favorite photos in black and white on regular paper. All different sizes and cut them out.

  3. 3

    Paint a thin layer of Mod Pog on the back of a photo then place on the top of the pumpkin. I started from top to bottom, no order, just went with an organic pattern.

  4. 4

    Continue adding pictures on, layering from top to bottom until the entire pumpkin is covered. Embrace the crinkles… It’s decoupage so it’s supposed to have them and it gives it a cool rustic look!

  5. 5

    Let it dry for an hour then paint a layer of Mod Pog over the entire pumpkin.

  6. 6

    Let that dry for 2 hours and paint another layer. Continue to paint layers until you get the texture you like on the outside. I did 4 layers of Mod Pog. Enjoy!
