I’m a sucker for anything DIY and anything Halloween related. So this DIY Mardi Gras Pumpkin is an amazing little project that I love to do every year! Its so much fun to do and its beautiful when its done! All you need to get this DIY party started is a styrofoam pumpkins, spray paint, a hot glue gun, and some shiny Mari Gras beads!
You can make several different versions of the DIY Mardi Gras Pumpkin project. I like to make one pumpkin per Mardi Gras Color so that they are solid colors. I also love making ones with multiple colors in a pattern. Play around with pumpkin sizes too! The best Mardi Gras Pumpkin displays feature several sizes of pumpkins for a more natural “pumpkin patch” look.
Materials:
Dollar Store Styrofoam Pumpkin
Black Spray Paint
Hot Glue Gun
Hot Glue Sticks
Purple Mardi Gras Bead Necklace
Instructions:
- Spray paint styrofoam pumpkins with the black spray paint. Do two coats allowing for each coat to dry for about 10-15 minutes.
- Plug in hot glue gun
- Cut the mardi gras beads in one place to make necklace into a long strand of beads.
- Starting from the top of the pumpkin at the base of the stem; put a later of hot glue around the base of the stem and begin to wrap the beads around the stem in a circular motion.
- Working your way down, wrap the beads evenly around the pumpkin all the way to the bottom.
- Once you are done applying the beads – allow for the glue to dry over the next 3 minutes.
- Pick the hot glue strands sticking out (if any) of the beads to create a more clean look.
