🎨What You Need for Pumpkin Painting 

Some of the tutorials will list out different supplies, but these are some common ones. 

Pumpkins – obviously! Head to the pumpkin patch or check your local craft stores for the artificial pumpkins like the ones below.

Paint – any acrylic craft paint will work. If you are using several different colors, we recommend getting a variety pack. Also, if there are themed pumpkins that look like they are going to require more paint, use spray paint instead. Some also prefer to use chalk paint, but it can be a little more expensive. 

Hot glue gun – some of our Disney pumpkin painting ideas have embellishments and these are best attached by using hot glue. I really like the Ryobi glue gun because it’s cordless and the tip is narrow so it’s really good for precision. AND the battery is rechargeable, so that’s nice.

🎃No Carve Disney Pumpkin Painting Ideas

Inside Out

Make all of the characters from the Disney movie, Inside Out! This is a great idea when you have pumpkins that are different shapes and sizes.

Winnie and Friends

The whole gang is here and so much fun to paint! This is a great idea for groups working together on a contest. 

Disney Princess Pumpkins for Halloween

Pick your Disney princesses and get to crafting! Your little girl will love painting these and adding all of the cute and sparkly embellishments. 

Moana Inspired Pumpkins

Have Moana lovers around your house?! These are great no carve ideas for using mini pumpkins. 

DIY Vampirina Pumpkin for Halloween

Here the wings are made from craft foam, but you could also cut out a scrap of cardboard and paint them black for the same look. She uses faux pumpkins so they are all about the same size, but you could recreate this idea on real ones. 

Mrs. Potts from Beauty and the Beast

She is one of my favorite Disney characters! This idea is super cute and could totally win a pumpkin painting contest. 

No-Carve Disney Pumpkin Ideas: Belle, Maleficent and Cinderella

Check out these three cute and fun ideas straight from Disney that also include step by step tutorials!

Nightmare Before Christmas Jack and Sally Pumpkins

Who loves Tim Burton? Jack and Sally turned out really cute and overall this idea is pretty easy to paint. 

Violet Beauregard Inspired Pumpkin

Remember the girl in Willy Wonka? How could you not it looks just like her! The base color is going to take several coats of blue paint, but the end result is such a winner! I would also try to use spray paint instead of acrylic paint so it takes less time. 

Coco

If you have a fake white pumpkin that needs a simple design, go with Coco! Add the face using black paint or if you have a cutting machine like a Cricut, I am sure you can find a file to cut out of vinyl to make it easier. 

Hocus Pocus Pumpkin

This one calls for some real skills, but it was so great we couldn’t leave it out! Can I just say this is one of my favorite movies to watch during this time of year! 

Lightning McQueen from Cars

Little boys will go crazy for Lightning! 

Alice in Wonderland

This painted pumpkin idea uses the cheap trick or treating buckets and each one is hot glued together to make this tiered unique pumpkin decor. 

Monsters Inc. Pumpkins

Monsters, Inc would be a fun theme especially if you have little ones around the house. 

Mickey and Minnie Mouse Halloween Themed Pumpkin

What better way to celebrate the spooky season than with Mickey and Minnie? 

Sonic the Hedgehog 

Last year my nephews were really into Sonic, so this was a fun way to do the pumpkins!

Beetlejuice Pumpkin

This Beetlejuice inspired pumpkin is a super easy idea and everyone will know the exact reference!

DIY Frozen Elsa Pumpkin

Let it go! Talk about a glitzy pumpkin. This Elsa inspired idea is full of glam. 

Snow White Inspired Pumpkins

We couldn’t leave Snow White and the poison apple out!

Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland

Use two of your Halloween pumpkins to make the Cheshire cat from Alice and Wonderland.

Toy Story Pumpkin Painting DIY

Toy Story is by far one of our favorite Disney movies, and these classic characters are so stinkin’ cute! Everyone will know the theme as soon as they see these. 

Ursula from the Little Mermaid

Add this to you no carve Disney pumpkin ideas if you are going to make Ariel from the post above.

Easy Minnie Mouse Pumpkin

This Minnie Mouse idea is totally doable even for the beginner. Grab a few extra craft pumpkins, because she has several fun projects that you can use them for. 

Disney’s Dumbo Pumpkin

Looking for a Disney classic? Go with Dumbo!

DIY Disney UP Pumpkin

The Up pumpkin is really simple, but it turned out so good! Plus, a great way to use up your pom pom stash if you already have those on ahnd. 

“Incredible” Edna Mode and Jack-Jack Pumpkins

Using fuzzy hair on top of the pumpkin really gives the Incredibles look!

Jack Skellington Pumpkin

If you need a Jack Skellington tutorial instead of just inspo, go with this one. All you will need is some white paint, fake pumpkins, and a black marker!

Eeyore Pumpkin

We couldn’t forget about the infamous Eeyore!

Sully Pumpkin

She will show you exactly how to turn your pumpkins into Sully and Mike Wazaowski from Monsters Inc. 

Slinky From Toy Story

Here’s some more inspiration from Toy Story that won an award! 

Sleeping Beauty Pumpkin

Stitch Pumpkin

This Stich looks SO real! 

Finding Nemo Pumpkin

Nemo is probably one of my favorite Disney movies, so of course we had to include it. 

Rapunzel from Tangled

I love how this pumpkin turned out, it’s so pretty and definitely screams Rapunzel.

Baby Yoda Pumpkin

Baby Yoda from Star Wars is really easy to make and uses craft foam on the side of the pumpkin for his ears. 

Tow Mater from Cars

Isn’t Tow Mater just the cutest?! If you do this one don’t forget a Lightning McQueen too.

Winnie The Pooh Pumpkin

If you are going to make Eeyore, don’t forget about Pooh!

101 Dalmatians 

The doggies are so cute and this would be such a fun idea to do with kids!

Chic Sanderson Sisters Pumpkins

The other Sanderson Sisters’ pumpkin was really intricate, so we wanted to include an easier idea as well. 

The Genie from Aladdin

Wow! The genie sure did come out great! Use felt or painted cardboard for the ears, other than that you will just need a little paint.

Alice in Wonderland

Here’s another fun stackable idea with smaller pumpkins that has all of our favorite characters from Alice in Wonderland.

Peter Pan

The glitter on this pumpkin is my favorite part! You could also add in a little lime green for Tinkerbell vibes.

Trolls

It’s not a party without Poppy!

Smurfs

Making a smurf out of a pumpkin is super easy, but still so cute!

Finding Dory 

Be sure to look back at the Finding Nemo pumpkin and make a whole set!
