This may require a few coats. For Mickey, I did red. For Woody, I did blue &amp; for Buzz I did purple. I couldn\u2019t find the proper purple for Buzz, so I actually did a little paint mixture using blue, red &amp; white. It worked perfectly!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/2020\/10\/disney-inspired-pumpkin-craft\/disney-pumpkin-bottom-color\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-78822\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-78822 size-full\" title=\"Pumpkin\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/disney-pumpkin-bottom-color-e1602204769689.jpg\" alt=\"Pumpkin\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/disney-pumpkin-bottom-color-e1602204769689.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/disney-pumpkin-bottom-color-e1602204769689-300x400.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Step Three<\/h3>\n<p>Using a hairdryer between each layer, continue painting until it is completely covered. Remove the painter\u2019s tape &amp; allow to dry fully. I allowed to dry for 24 hours because I wanted to ensure no paint overlapped.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/2020\/10\/disney-inspired-pumpkin-craft\/disney-pumpkin-top\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-78823\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-78823 size-full\" title=\"Pumpkin\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/disney-pumpkin-top-e1602204835741.jpg\" alt=\"Pumpkin\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/disney-pumpkin-top-e1602204835741.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/disney-pumpkin-top-e1602204835741-300x400.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Step Four<\/h3>\n<p>Now it is time to paint the top half. Again, this may require a few coats. Do this very carefully, as painter\u2019s tape is not involved and you don\u2019t want to overlap as best you can. For Mickey, I used black, and for both Buzz &amp; Woody I used white. Again, I used my hairdryer in between each coat.<\/p>\n<h3>Step Five<\/h3>\n<p>Time for the details! I started by using a hot glue gun to glue Mickey\u2019s buttons on.<\/p>\n<p>Once the white was dry on Buzz &amp; Woody, I was ready to get creative. For Woody, I used a small line of brown where the top &amp; bottom half colors met for his \u201cbelt\u201d. Once that dried, I added the belt buckle &amp; cow spots!<\/p>\n<p>For Buzz, I made his \u201cbelt\u201d with a light green shade. I couldn\u2019t find the green paint I wanted either, so I used a Christmas green with some white to tone it down. I used purple again for two little line details, and red, green &amp; blue for his \u201cbuttons\u201d. I googled the characters for inspiration! You can easily make this your own.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/2020\/10\/disney-inspired-pumpkin-craft\/disney-pumpkin-details\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-78824\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-78824 size-full\" title=\"Pumpkin\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/disney-pumpkin-details-e1602204910639.jpg\" alt=\"Pumpkin\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/disney-pumpkin-details-e1602204910639.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/disney-pumpkin-details-e1602204910639-300x400.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Step Six<\/h3>\n<p>Last, I painted the pumpkin stems. Mickey\u2019s I painted black, Buzz was green &amp; Woody was brown. Remember! You can do any combination of colors you\u2019d like.<\/p>\n<h3>Step Seven<\/h3>\n<p>The final step was adding the ears for each character. I didn\u2019t want to use hot glue to glue them directly on the pumpkin, as you would see it. So what I did was used some wire I had at home &#8211; it was actually the wire stems from some fake flowers I had around home! Any kind of sturdy wire will do the trick.<\/p>\n<p>First, I cut the ears for each character, making sure I found the correct size &amp; also curving the bottom part to make sure it would sit nicely on the pumpkin.<\/p>\n<p>Using hot glue, I glued the foam ears to the wire, leaving only enough wire exposed to poke in the pumpkin.<\/p>\n<p>Once the hot glue was fully dried, I poked it in the pumpkin, and voila!<\/p>\n<p>As an option, you can also glue a foam backing on the ears to cover the wire. I didn\u2019t bother with this step because you won\u2019t see them back on. It would add a nice finished touch, though!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/2020\/10\/disney-inspired-pumpkin-craft\/disney-pumpkin-ears\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-78825\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-78825 size-full\" title=\"Pumpkin\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/disney-pumpkin-ears.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/disney-pumpkin-ears.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/disney-pumpkin-ears-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/disney-pumpkin-ears-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/2020\/10\/disney-inspired-pumpkin-craft\/disney-pumpkin-final\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-78826\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-78826 size-full\" title=\"Pumpkin\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/disney-pumpkin-final.jpg\" alt=\"Pumpkin\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/disney-pumpkin-final.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/disney-pumpkin-final-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/disney-pumpkin-final-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There you have it.
