Colorful Wax-Covered Pumpkins

This Colorful Jack-O-Lantern is Decorated with Melted Crayons

— October 28, 2015 — Art & Design
The 'Public Lives, Secret Recipes' blog put together a clever tutorial for making a colorful jack-o-lantern that is decorated with melted crayons. With Halloween fast approaching, many people are looking for unique and creative ways to dress up their pumpkins. This tutorial offers an unexpected way to create a one-of-a-kind jack-o-lantern.

The tutorial is extremely simple to follow, making it a fun alternative to carving or painting a pumpkin. In order to make the colorful jack-o-lantern, all that's required is a pumpkin, a box of crayons, glue and a blow dryer. To begin, you need to glue the crayons to top of the pumpkin a circular shape. Once the glue is dry, simply apply some heat and watch the crayons drip down the sides of the pumpkin. The end result is a colorful jack-o-lantern that is decorated with melted crayons.

The tutorial provides a fun and easy way to make your pumpkin stand out from all the rest.
Trend Themes

3. Eco-friendly Pumpkin Decorating - Businesses can bring the eco-friendly trend into the pumpkin decorating space by offering eco-friendly alternatives such as using recycled materials or non-toxic paint on pumpkins rather than carving them.
Industry Implications
1. Art and Craft Supplies - Art and craft supply companies could offer special Halloween-themed DIY creative decoration bundles that include a pumpkin along with the supplies needed to execute these alternative pumpkin decorating methods.
2. Home Decor - Home decor businesses can sell pre-made pumpkin art with melted crayons as a decor piece for households during Halloween and autumn events.
3. Creative Education - Educational and creative businesses could offer colorful pumpkin decorating classes for children and adults to learn about the art of pumpkin decoration and DIY art projects.
