I really really love Doctor Who.
If you didn't know that before, I'm sure it's blatantly obvious now.
(Remember the
TARDIS shoe diy? More proof.)
This pumpkin actually has a funny story behind it. I found it while we were harvesting pumpkins about 6 weeks ago, and I thought to myself: "What a strange looking pumpkin. It's almost shaped like a rectangle!". I instantly knew that it had to be mine, and that I was going to paint it like a TARDIS. So here we are! I painted it like a TARDIS, and am quite pleased with it.
Materials:
-blue paint
-black paint
-white paint
-paintbrushes (one large, one small)
-white paint pen
-a lot of patience
Directions:
First I washed and dried my pumpkin to ensure no dirt remained. Then I painted 2 coats of blue paint over the whole thing, letting each coat completely dry before applying the next. Next, I used a small paintbrush to paint fine black lines along the "corner edges" of the TARDIS, and let it dry. I used a pencil to then outline the black rectangle at the top of each side (where "Police Public Call Box" will go), as well as the 8 panels on each side. I painted the black boxes in, as well as mixed a dark blue colour to outline each panel. After everything was dry, I wrote out Police Public Call Box using pencil first, and then used a white paint pen to write over top of it. I printed out the little sign for the front door, and stuck it on with double sided tape!
{*Update: I fixed the missing windows :P so now it looks much better}
Let it dry, and you're good to go!
Happy pumpkin painting!
