Friday: Play!—Paper Mache Pumpkins

October 24th, 2008 in Crafts, Friday: Play!

Another great Halloween craft from….

If you want detailed instructions you are just going to have to pick up the book! Or try and figure it out from the pictures :) This was super messy, super fun and SUPER SPOOKY Halloween craft! I hope to keep this nice to use every year, which probably means I won’t be brave enough to hang these above our front door. That’s what the 15 dollar Target pumpkin lights are for :)

Paper Mached some leftover balloons from birthdays and hung them to dry.

Painted them orange and put a whole in the top.

Used black streamer to make the face and covered it in Mod Podge Sparkly Glue.

Inserted pipe cleaners.

Put a light in the top of each and wound the pipe cleaners into place for it to hang.

Pretend that there is no white gunk and it is just shiny and sparkly! —We couldn’t wait till they were dry to hang them—

    I just wanted to say thank you for the sweet comment you left on my blog a little while ago. I don’t know what it’s like to have a girl, but I can say having a boy is awesome!
    I’m actually glad you left me a comment because I’ve had fun reading your blog:-) I hope you don’t care if I add it to the side of my blog.

    I also want to say thanks for checking out my family blog. Also darling pumpkins. I don’t know if I’m that ambitious this close to Halloween, but you never know. I like the garland, we did something similiar with ghosts that we made. Super cute!
