Halloween season is officially upon us and, with it, one of our favorite parts of autumn: PUMPKINS. We pretty much love pumpkins in all of their forms—pumpkin pies, pumpkin bread, pumpkin soup, scary-faced jack-o-lanterns—but this year, we wanted to do something different with this tried-and-true fall staple. So, for a bit of a twist on the yearly ritual of pumpkin carving, we invited some of our favorite designers, artists, and designers to come up with some new ideas for jack-o-lanterns.
Our first set of re-imagined jack-o-lanterns comes from Molly Madfis, the multi-talented blogger behind Almost Makes Perfect. Her gemstone pumpkins (or what I like to call “gem-o-lanterns”) have a fresh, playful, yet grown-up look that will help glam-out all of your Halloween festivities. Check out Molly’s full DIY after the jump! —Max
Directions
1. Draw your gems onto your pumpkins with marker. If you make mistakes, you can fix up a little using nail polish remover.
2. Carve the top and hollow out your pumpkin as much as possible. The smaller pumpkins were a little more difficult to hollow out than normal sized. Once they’re empty, carve out your designs
3. Paint your pumpkins white (or any color you’d like!). Pop a candle inside and light them up!
