It's Pumpkin Pickin' Time

We grew 19 pumpkins this year and I was excited to start prettying them up. This year we did not carve just craft, glue, sparkle, paint, and mod podge.


 
The Mummy we wrapped in White duck tape and then cut out eyes and mouth with foam/felt/paper and glued red jewels for the eyes. Super easy took 15 minutes

 
My daughter made the Frankenstein. She used green Duck Tape, Felt piece for the hair, pipe cleaner for the eye brows. I used hot glue

 
I first painted the pumpkin green. On the last coat I sprinkled with glitter. I used white glue to put the sparkles on. I wrapped the stem with ribbon using hot glue. I hate the prickly stems of the pumpkins

 
My daughter made the spider and web. She painted her pumpkin black. When it dried she used white puff paint for the web. We made the spider out of a foam cup and 4 pipe cleaners


 
Angry bird we painted red, painted the brown belly and yellow beak. We bought the foam sticker kit (WASTE OF MONEY) for the eyes, hair and tail. We could have made a better one myself. Oh well

 
The leaf pumpkin I painted white then had the kids find leaves outside. I glued them on and then mod podged over them. It didn't turn out as cool as I would have liked but it only has to last 3 weeks. I wrapped the stem with ribbon.
