Nail Polish Pumpkin Craft
If you’re looking for a fun pumpkin activity for the kids, don’t miss out on this nail polish pumpkin craft. It’s a simple way to combine creativity and art, all into one.
Equipment
- 6 Realistic Fall Harvest Small Beige Mini Artificial Pumpkins
- Baby Nail Polish
- Original Stationery Glitter Shake Jars
Ingredients
- nail polish in different colors I prefer the non-toxic kind
- water
- a bowl or container where the mini pumpkin will fit that you don’t care ruining
- a mini pumpkin real or fake with a stem
- a paper towel square
- optional: glitter in different colors
- optional: hair spray
Instructions
- Start with a bowl and fill it up with water, stopping at about 1 inch from the top. Choose the nail polish colors you want to use and sprinkle the nail polish until the entire surface of the water is covered.
- Gently tap the container on the sides so the nail polish mixes a little bit. If you prefer it to stay put as dots, then don’t tap it. It is all personal preference. Another option is to sprinkle some glitter on top of the nail polish. It will also stick to the pumpkin and will look beautiful.
- Have the child hold the pumpkin by the stem and dip it into the nail polish and water mix. When dipped, the nail polish will stick to the pumpkin.
- Take out of the bowl, turn it over, and lay it on a paper towel to dry completely. It might take about an hour or so.
- Once the pumpkin is dry completely, lightly spray the surface with some hair spray to seal it. That’s it!
Notes
If you want the pumpkins to be completely covered up to the top, then use a bigger container and more nail polish.
