You have made your Halloween pumpkin list! As you can see, it is quite different from the typical oranges with eyes and mouths, and to choose colors for your decor will allow you to combine it with other tones you have in your home. You can put it in the hall, on the coffee table or even in the kitchen. The white base provides a very elegant look.
The use of vinyl
The vinyl adheres well to the surface of the pumpkin and is much easier to paint geometric drawings. This is done with an iron and go cutting small pieces of the ways we want, and stick as if it were a sticker, only with more grip and better finish than these. In addition, it is easy to change your position as you please, so you can reinvent your pumpkin every year and introduce different colors and shapes to renew your Halloween decoration.
