The Halloween season gets my creative juices flowing. Call it the spirit of the season, but I just enjoy creating cute Halloween crafts and recipes. If you are a regular here on The Farm Girl Gabs, you know I have a soft spot for all things Disney.

We are a Disney family. So Disney always has a place in any Halloween or Christmas craft projects I create. Pumpkins are in full swing here on our farm and what better way to celebrate than by turning an ordinary face pumpkin into your favorite Disney Character.

Tips For Easy Pumpkin Painting

If you want your real pumpkin to last a really long time, consider using a craft pumpkin. A no-carve pumpkin purchased from the craft store will last a REALLY long time.
If you are painting a real pumpkin, seal your pumpkin first with a with a clear coat spray paint. I use this one. This will help fill in the pores and protect the pumpkin from the UV rays.
Cover your work surface completely. This will help eliminate any mess
Don’t stress over “not being an artist”. There are many stencils either online or at a craft store to help you create your Disney craft.
Let the kids get creative. In other words, Olaf may not look like Olaf but they created it themselves and that is all that matters. No obviously, you will need to supervise the children if they are using craft materials (like a glue gun) that may hurt them. But don ‘t micromanage and let their creativity soar!
