I love using these styrofoam pumpkins for my Halloween pumpkin crafts! They're only $1 at Dollar Tree so even if you mess it up, it was only $1! (You can also get them on Amazon, you'll just pay a little more).

Start by cutting off the front of the styrofoam pumpkin. Don't cut it exactly in half because you want to be sure you have plenty of room inside to work with, but cut it far enough back so that you have a good sized opening to work with.

Paint the entire inside of the pumpkin black, including the stick that hangs down from the stem. Paint the outside part where you made the cut with orange paint. Note: The colors are different in this image because this was the first pumpkin I made. I then made a second, where the inside was black and the outer edge orange and it looked even better. Set aside until dry.

Once the paint dries, paint the inside bottom of the pumpkin with Mod Podge and sprinkle with glass pebbles.

Now you can decorate! I love the stick hanging down from the middle because it's the perfect place to attach flying bats or ghosts. I actually used plastic bat rings and cut off the backing so I just had the bat to work with. I also used styrofoam stickers and the tombstones were cupcake toppers. You can use whatever Halloween craft supplies you have on hand.
