Bumpkin Pumpkin
-
Gently insert sharp needle into base of balloon - you should hear a pop and balloon pull away from sides of hardened shell.
- Gently push in bottom of shell to form a dent - or base for the pumpkin to sit. Do not force. If dent will not form, use a cardboard strip, about 1" wide, stapled into a circle as a base.
- Paint body of pumpkin orange. Paint stalk green.
- To decorate paint eyes, nose and mouth on pumpkin in desired "look". You can cut out green leaves from construction paper and use green floral wire to form vines.
- You can also cut out eyes, nose and mouth using a sharp bladed knife(). Then cut a circle in the back and shine a flashlight inside. Do NOT use a candle or flame. These pumpkins are paper and will immediately burn.
- My personal favourite is to make small bats & pumkins,and let them dangle from the ceilings on a peice of string!
