Constellation and galaxy decor is a popular idea now and it’s used not only for everyday decor, it’s also incorporated into various holiday decor. As we are all getting ready for Halloween, it’s time to have a look at some galaxy-themed pumpkins. Here are some tutorials for constellation pieces, carved or just decorated ones.

Carved And Drilled Pumpkins

A constellation pumpkin is a chic and unusual sophisticated decoration for Halloween. This tutorial will tell you how to drill a pumpkin giving it a constellation pattern: you can watch a short video to find out more details to do that. Once the painted lines had dried, give a coat of Mod Podge pearlized spray sealer to give the pumpkins a slight shimmer and voila!

Here’s another drilled constellation pumpkin, and you may use a string of fairy lights inside the pumpkin, with a few pushed into the actual drilled holes. This really looks beautiful and helps to highlight the different constellations as dusk is falling, or if you are keeping the pumpkin indoors in a dimly lit room.  Don’t worry though if that seems either too messy or too fiddly – by the time it is truly dark, the pumpkin will glow all over and all of the stars stand out.

Bring a bit of the night sky to our pumpkin display this year and making some drilled pumpkins with constellations!

Here’s another pumpkin drilling craft, which doesn’t suppose any pumpkin painting – just a Scorpio constellation. You may try various constellations you like and use not only a real pumpkin like here but also an artificial one. Insert some small tea lights since they are wide, flat, and easy to get a couple at one time into the base of the pumpkins.
