What you'll need:
- 1 medium to small white pumpkin
- Black, blue, red and white craft paint
- Small foam paint brush
- 1 wooden skewer
How to make it:
- Using a foam brush, paint the stem of your white pumpkin with the black paint. Also paint all around the stem black. (See photo.)
- Next paint a circle of blue around the black, just like a blue eyeball. (See photo.)
- Following the natural grooves of the pumpkin, use a wooden skewer to draw fine red lines of craft paint, making it look like bloodshot lines on an eyeball. (See photo.)
- Final step, use the same skewer to draw fine white lines of white craft paint on the black and blue part of the eye to make it look like light reflecting.
Tips:
- A little paint goes a long way, it's better to use less than too much.
