First wash the container thoroughly to eliminate the smell of the detergent so you can even fill it with sweets or scary gadgets; then paint it orange. The container I used had a green top so I left it as it was, but you can adapt it to your needs following your imagination.

When the orange paint was dry we added the details with black paint: eyes, nose, and scary mouth. With a touch of lighter paint we also attempted to give the container the pumpkin lines and that’s what we ended up with.
