Aladdin Pumpkin

Aladdin pumpkin - Disney in your Day

When it comes to Halloween I don’t have many traditions because the fall tends to be such a crazy time of year for me. There are only two things I really think I do consistently every year: attend my friend Kristin’s Halloween party and paint a Disney pumpkin. This year I did an Aladdin pumpkin!

I’m not a huge fan of carving so I decided to paint instead, and I’ve been doing it on plastic pumpkins so I can keep them around in the future.  Every year I add a new one to the collection – and of course every pumpkin I’ve done is Disney themed!  You can see the ones I’ve done in past years here:

  • Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Princess and the Frog, and Tangled pumpkins
  • Inside Out pumpkin
  • Frozen pumpkin
  • Orange Bird pumpkin

It was difficult for me to decide which movie to do this year! I’ve already done all of my favorites. I thought about doing Peter Pan, since the silhouettes would work so well with them flying by Big Ben. But I carved a Tinkerbell pumpkin a few years ago and that felt pretty similar. Moana and Pocahontas crossed my mind, but ultimately I picked another 90’s classic: Aladdin.

I always paint my pumpkins with silhouettes, because I am not really an artist and I definitely can’t do detail work.  So most of what I paint is black, but I try to incorporate color where I can to add some detail. This time I added a little blue to the genie and yellow/gold for the lamp.

I don’t trace anything, I do all of it freehand. First I find an image online, then do a pencil outline of what I what I want on the pumpkin, and then paint it in. I always do the movie’s title logo on the back as well. This one might have come out a liiiitle crooked, but it’s not terrible!

What do you think of my Aladdin pumpkin?  Any ideas for which movie I should tackle next year?

    I love this!! We went a little too late in the season to pick our pumpkins from the patch, so most of them were pretty small. But I love the idea of getting plastic ones to paint and then keep as future Halloween decorations!

    Eeek I am so glad you chose Aladdin. It’s such a classic, and adding the blue to the Genie and the gold to his lamp made it extra identifiable. You’re super creative and talented! I can’t believe you free-handed all this!

    I love how this turned out!!! I would have not been able to free hand this like you did. I might have to do a pumpkin carving/decorating content one year!
