Marbling A Pumpkin – How To

by trisha haas

We may be wrapping up our Halloween Holiday fun, but there is still time to get one last itsy bitsy pumpkin idea in like Marbling A Pumpkin…right? RIGHT! MORE PUMPKINS! I have been itching to do something with white pumpkins this season. I have experimented with pinning ribbons, hot gluing beads, finger painting a white pumpkin (ok, so little P did that one) but so far nothing has really struck me as awesome. Until now.

Yesterday I was perusing my local craft store and grabbed some white glass ornaments to start to get my decorating on. While I suck at Marbling nails, I don’t totally suck at Marbling ornaments. Then it hit me- dude. Marble a WHITE PUMPKIN. 


BEFORE YOU GET STARTED< BE PREPARED!!

Before you get started on this craft you will need lots of nail polish! I like to buy cheap nail polish in lots of colors and these will work for your jar marbling as well. Here are a few sets that are inexpensive.  If you order them, you will have tons of colors without paying like $7 a bottle at the store. Money savings!!!!!!!!!!!!

Marbling A Pumpkin

You need

  • Nail polish remover (cause you will probably get it on something you don’t want to get it on)
  • A bowl you don’t really care about or are willing to clean up
  • Baby White pumpkins

Marbling Pumpkins: Easy DIY Step by Step Tutorial to use nail marbling technique for no carve pumpkin

Instructions To Marble a Pumpkin

Fill your bowl up with water and then let the bowl sit so it’s not sloshing around. If the water is moving, it can disperse your nail polish and leave less designs. Then pour your nail polish in your bowl. You can use a toothpick or Q-tip to get really intricate, but all I did was slowly pour and create some swirly streams.

After you have your design, just dip your pumpkin and pull out!

I decided to do the top and bottom of a few, so I would dip the bottom, then dry it off (I used a hair dryer), then poked a fork through the bottom and used the fork handle to dip the top of the pumpkin on the other side.

I also tried orange and some sparkly nail polish but I didn’t love that sparkly nail polish marbling as much.

The effect was  kinda weepy.

Btw, I dont know if there is such thing as 99 cent nail polish, but if there is, stock up. This was totally fun and I plan on picking up some more pumpkins to do a patch.
