We love a good painted pumpkin craft in my house! They’re so much easier than carved pumpkins, not to mention that there’s a lot less mess. We’ve made everything from a black cat pumpkin to a unicorn pumpkin and always have fun coming up with new ideas!

A lot of our ideas come from movies. We love creating pumpkins based on our favorite characters, especially if they’re Disney related like this Jack Skellington pumpkin. This time we focused on one of our favorite Disney Pixar movies, Monsters Inc.

Sully Pumpkin

This Sully pumpkin was so much fun to make and super easy too. It’s great for all ages and budget-friendly too. You just need a few simple supplies to get started (and when you’re all done, you can make this Mike Wazowski pumpkin too).

✂️Materials

I always start with these styrofoam pumpkins from Dollar Tree. They’re super easy to work with and I use them for almost all of my pumpkin crafts! You can get them on Amazon too, you’ll just pay a lot more.

Instructions

  • Paint your pumpkin blue (if you're making a Mike Wazowski pumpkin, you can paint that one now too).

  • Draw on the eyes with a pencil. I found it easiest to trace a circular object, just to be sure the eyes came out the same size.

  • Draw a curved line to make the eyelids, then paint the bottom section of the eye with white paint.

  • Use dark blue paint to make a nose in the shape of an upside down triangle with slightly curved points and edges.

  • Use the same dark blue color to paint the eyelids, then use a round sponge brush to make the eyeballs. Use dark blue or black to make a mouth.

Notes

You can skip the dark blue paint and just mix a little blue paint with black paint to get a darker color.

What color is that blue you used? I feel like it’s the perfect shade for sully. Looking for brand of paint and name of color.
