DIY Black Rose Pumpkin

This DIY Black Rose Pumpkin is the largest pumpkin in my 3-part series. It’s a knock-off of the $59 Midnight Rose Pumpkin from Grand In Road and I did it for less than half the cost (I had most of the supplies)!

Confession time! This was the very first time that I attempted decoupaging with napkins. I scoured Youtube and the internet for tutorials on decoupaging with napkins on a black surface. Guess what? There isn’t any because it doesn’t work! The black background comes through the thin napkin and makes a muddy mess of the print. But I already bought the rose print napkins, so I was committed to using them!

I also asked for advice in several craft groups. For decoupaging on a dark surface, it was suggested to use fabric or wrapping paper because these mediums are thicker to hide the dark background. Ugh, wish I had that advice BEFORE I bought rose print napkins! However, after completing this project and due to the ridges in the pumpkin surface, I would only recommend using fabric or napkins. To me, these two mediums are more flexible and easier to mold without creating too many wrinkles.

All that being said, I’m not going to lie…this DIY Black Rose Pumpkin does take patience and a steady hand. But…it’s SOOOO WORTH IT!

DIY Black Rose Pumpkin

Supplies (if using napkins):

  • white 9″ craft pumpkin
  • black chalkboard paint
  • rose print napkins
  • small detail scissors
  • small flat paint brush
  • decoupage glue/sealer

Optional for stem:

  • paper bag or butcher paper
  • hot glue gun/glue sticks

Supplies (using fabric):

  • black 9″ craft pumpkin
  • rose print fabric
  • small detail scissors
  • decoupage glue/sealer
  • optional stem supplies(see above)

How to:

black rose napkins for decoupage

  • Cut out the roses from the napkin.

Separating the layers of the napkin

  • Separate the napkin layers until only the layer with the print remains. Usually, the napkins are 3-ply and the napkin should separate into 3 layers.

Applying the rose napkins onto the craft pumpkin

  • Apply decoupage glue all over the pumpkin in the area the napkin will be applied. If you are not sure how to apply the napkin roses, see this video on Youtube from a decoupage expert – start watching at 3:48. I tried to get it the napkins as smooth as possible, but I did have a few wrinkles.
  • When all the napkin roses are applied, let dry.

Note: As seen in the video, use a good amount of decoupage medium when applying the napkins. Using too little will cause the napkin to tear when you try to smooth it out.

Paint between the decoupage roses with black paint

  • Use a small flat paint brush to paint between the roses with black chalk paint. Paint the pumpkin in sections. Let dry.

Tip: Paint the pumpkin in sections, using the ridges as a guide and stroke the paint in one direction to lessen any brush strokes.

Optional Stem

If you would like to change the pumpkin stem, head over to the DIY Halloween Glam Glitter Pumpkin tutorial to see how it’s done. Once the new stem is applied, paint it with black chalk paint.

    Why not paint the pumpkin first and then apply decoupage roses?

      Hi Ginger, If you read the post, it’s because the black tends to dull the color of the print on the napkin. It did a test first and didn’t like the result. The color of the rose stays vibrant against a lighter background color.
