Pumpkin painting made easy

For a “really gourd” Halloween party

Halloween wouldn’t be half as much fun without pumpkins. Thanks to edding’s permanent markers you can decorate pumpkins, squashes and gourds of all shapes and sizes with incredible ease. Best of all: you don’t have to worry about all the palaver of hollowing them out, so you can give amusing or spooky faces to even small decorative gourds in your Halloween display. Oh, and one more thing: if you grab an edding 3000, you’ll be using a more sustainable marker because the barrel has been made of recycled aluminium since the start of 2024.

Step-by-step

Step 1

The edding 3000 permanent marker is perfect for painting with. It’s waterproof and smudge-proof, so you can place your pumpkins outside.

Step 2

You can use permanent markers to paint straight onto the actual pumpkin. Alternatively, first mark out your face design using a pencil.

Step 3

Whether you go for a humorous look or a spooky effect, decorate your pumpkin using the permanent marker in whatever way you choose. If you’re using a Hokkaido pumpkin, do not cook or eat it once you’ve painted it.

Step 4

Decorative gourds in all manner of different shapes and sizes are also perfect as Halloween decorations.

Step 5

If your permanent marker runs out of ink or no longer contains enough to work properly, refill the marker quickly and neatly using the permanent marker refill service.
