Today we made our third project from our halloween pumpkins. Yesterday I cleaned the pumpkins and spray painted them white.
This project was about an one hour and fifteen mintues from set-up to clean-up
(that includes the time to spray paint the pumpkins the previous day). This project was free for us today, we already had all of the items in our house.
Items used:
white spray paint
3 mini pumpkins
3 remant pieces of fabric for the scarf
push pins
glue
google eyes
colored sticky foam board (you could use colored paper)
3 buttons
markers
First we cut large circles out of the black foam board for the hat brim. a small circle was cut out of the center so that it fit over the stem.
We cut a long strip of foam board with slits on the bottom to made the hat. folded the top down a bit and stuck another small circle for the top of the hat.
We used push pins to hold down help hold the hat the hat down on the pumpkin
We glued on the eyes, used glue and push pins to hold the nose in place.
Cut a mouth and checks out of the foam board and stuck them on
I tied the scarf around the bottom of the pumpkin and held it on with push pins.
The final touch was to let my girls color on them with markers.
The results were very cute.
