Yes, You CAN Make Money By Painting Pumpkins.

I just returned from the grocery store and amidst the small selection of pumpkins that is in the produce department, there was a basket of painted pumpkins. They were nice with cute faces, but they weren’t handpainted originals. It looked like the designs were some kind of transfers. I saw them last Halloween and they scratch off easily, which is not good.

The price of each small painted pumpkin (the size of a sugar pumpkin or “pie pumpkin”) was $5.00. That’s more than double the price of a regular, unpainted pumpkin in the same size.

Pumpkin Painting is a great way to make money during September and October, perfect timing when you need the extra cash during the holiday season.

You could set up at flea markets, craft shows, even gift shops that may allow you a consignment arrangement.

The key to doing Pumpkin Painting For Profit is to secure an inventory of pumpkins from a local farm or distributor (ask around at pumpkin stands) and get really good at painting pumpkins quickly.

Look for shows and flea markets where the booth investment is minimal. And keep track of your expenses (paints, sealer, pumpkins, etc.). At least double your expenses to come up with a price.

Start small and grow. Before you know it, you could have an annual business with repeat customers who come back to buy your Pumpkin Painting masterpieces year after year.
