Terrazzo-Inspired No-Carve DIY Pumpkins

Creating these DIY terrazzo-inspired pumpkins is a breeze! With just a few easy-to-find materials, you can add a vibrant splash of color to your holiday décor without any carving involved.

DIRECTIONS

Materials

Craft paint in your chosen color palette

Paint brushes (the smaller the better! Size 0 and 1 for corners and smaller pieces, probably no larger than size 4 or 5 for some of the larger pieces)

Paint palette or paper plate

Craft vinyl and scissors (optional)

Pumpkins in varying shapes and sizes

Step 1. Choose your color palette. I recommend selecting 4-6 colors per pumpkin. You can keep the color palette the same for each pumpkin, or mix things up a bit and choose several color combinations with some overlapping colors.

I chose a mix of pinks, peach, ochre (deep yellow), navy blue, shades of green, and rust. Each pumpkin had some pink and ochre, but otherwise I mixed things up a bit!

Step 2. Squeeze a small amount of each paint color onto a paint palette or paper plate. If necessary, mix colors to achieve the perfect shade of a particular color.

Starting with the first color, paint a few terrazzo-inspired geometric shapes around the pumpkin. You want these shapes to look like stone fragments, so geometric shapes with softer corners are definitely your friend here. Trapezoids, diamonds, irregular circles and rectangles, and triangles.

I found it easiest to paint a few larger shapes around the pumpkin to make sure the colors were evenly distributed, then fill in with smaller shapes. 

Step 3. Continue painting the entire pumpkin, and if necessary, apply a second or third coat of paint to ensure full-color coverage. Allow the paint to dry completely and enjoy!

NOTE: IF USING VINYL: If you’re using craft vinyl, you’ll basically do the same thing, except instead of painting you’ll use your scissors to cut terrazzo-inspired shapes from your craft vinyl.

Once you have a variety of shapes and colors cut, carefully peel the adhesive backing and apply to the pumpkin like a sticker. I found it easiest to start with some of the larger shapes randomly scattered around the pumpkin surface, then fill in with the smaller shapes as I went. I really didn’t have a plan, so you can totally just wing it! If you place a shape and then change your mind, you should be able to move it by very carefully peeling the vinyl from the pumpkin and moving it to a new spot.

Yes, I'm a crafter too, and when I saw these guys in Wild Life SMP, I had to make Pearlo's snail! Meanwhile, Scott's snail was made as a Christmas present for my friend 💫

It's pretty thin (so thin I'm afraid it'll snap in half anytime I lift it)

the church in the coptic monastery of the virgin mary in bethlehem, palestine. this unique church is built inside of a cave tunnel which connects it to the nearby church of the nativity. the holy family is said to have passed through it during their stay in bethlehem. saint helena, who established churches across palestine during her time, is said to have established this one as well. the coptic archbishop of jerusalem purchased this and four nearby homes in the 1950s, establishing the monastery and re-establishing the church. today, the site is maintained by two nuns.

my @phandomgiftexchange gift for @silliestgirlintheworld !! (i signed up under @cryptidjeepers but wanted to post on my art blog, i hope that's okay. I will reblog onto my main as well. sorry for the confusion!!)

when i saw the prompt in my ask box for dan and phil crafts horror i thought they accidentally sent me my own prompt lmao. i was so excited to work on it that i accidentally did two, full-page colour comics. whoops. Also, I know you requested MCR but I don't know enough of their songs so I chose a FOB song (I've got all this ringing in my ears and none on my fingers) it's an absolute banger and weirdly fit this idea i had. I'll drop the version with no text here if that's not your thing! I had a lot of fun drawing this and it was totally out of my comfort zone. I hope you like it! Merry Christmas! :)
