Steps for Painting a MacKenzie Child’s Pumpkin Topiary

If you’re looking everywhere for these pumpkins, be sure to try Dollar Tree Plus or Five Below. They both have a version that will work great for this DIY project!

Step One

Tape off two segments on the middle pumpkin, skipping every third segment as shown below. Paint the exposed orange segments with the light pink color.

Step Two

Next paint the next segment with the hot pink paint. I used press n seal to protect the freshly painted light pink segments as shown below.

Step Three

Remove the painter’s tape to reveal the original orange panels and paint gold stripes in between each segment filling in any gaps.

Step Four

Cover the stem of the smallest pumpkin with painter’s tape and then add a thin base layer of chalk-type paint or spray paint to cover the top and bottom pumpkins.

Step Five

Now add black polka dots to the top pumpkin using a spouncer. It’s easy when you use a pattern like two dots on one pumpkin segment and three on the next as shown below.

You can also paint the stem gold or black, I just left my pumpkin stem brown.

Step Six

Now it’s time to paint the MacKenzie Childs black checks onto the bottom pumpkin. Start by using two inch pieces of tape to mark every other pumpkin segment as shown below. Then draw in your check lines using the tape as your guide. When all of the checks are drawn, add lines down between each segment as shown. Then carefully remove your painters tape as to not remove any paint.

Fill in each square with black paint. It took mine two coats, drying in between. Fix any uneven lines with a black paint pen.

Then fix any other spots with white paint if needed. Don’t forget to add a hint of gold with your brush stroke at the end if desired.

Step Seven

Stack your pumpkins back together and optionally add a cute bow with coordinating colors!

That’s it for this one! Isn’t she pretty?

Now proudly display your pumpkin topiary!

Place it on a hearth, in a corner, or on a front porch, or on a back porch.

This was so easy to do in an afternoon! Have fun and get creative!

And here’s a look at the back without the bow! You can really see the details of each pumpkin!
