You will need: sharp knife and spoon, medium sized pumpkins, floral foam, chrysanthemums and plants, chestnuts and cones, glue.
Hollow out the pumpkin and remove the flesh and seeds. Cut the floral foam according to the shape of the hole and immerse it in water. Then place floral foam in the pumpkin. Stick cut flowers into the floral foam. Fill gaps with chestnuts.
Materials needed: 3-5 decorative pumpkins, 3-5 porcelain bowls and bowls with lids (from flea markets or thrift stores), spray primer and spray paint (if you want to paint the dishes), googly eyes, and craft glue.
Paint the bowl and bowls black or white. First apply the spray primer, let it dry, then spray with the spray paint. Allow to dry. Place the pumpkins in the bowls so that the tips extend a little over the edge. Glue googly eyes onto the pumpkins.
Materials needed: a pumpkin (real or artificial), black marker, a small bowl, black craft tape, glasses template, glitter paper, light green spray paint, garland of artificial autumn leaves, aluminum foil, scissors, hot glue gun, witch hat.
Tape the pumpkin to a small dish to prevent it from rolling when placed on a flat surface. The style should be forward. Crumple aluminum foil and form a small cone. Attach to pumpkin stem with hot glue. Cover the bowl with a plastic bag and paint the pumpkin with green spray paint. Best done outside or in a well-ventilated room. Cut out glasses from the adhesive film and stick them over your nose. Draw the mouth and eyes with the black marker. Glue the garland onto the pumpkin to form the witch's hair. Attach hat at the end.
You will need: pumpkins of different shapes and sizes, hot glue gun, black paint (if you want to display these outside in the garden, then it is better to choose a special color for outdoor use), foam brushes, scissors, craft foam in black, white marker, pipe cleaners and felt pieces in gray , red and brown.
Paint the pumpkins with the black paint. At least three coats of varnish, allowing the varnish to dry completely between coats. Use scissors to cut out two arrow-shaped ears from a sheet of craft foam. Make two small slits in the pumpkin where the ears should attach. Apply a dab of hot glue and attach ears into the slots.
Use a white marker to draw cat eyes as shown in the picture above. Cut out a triangle (slightly curved on one side) from felt. Apply a dab of hot glue to the center of the felt piece and adhere it under the eyes. Cut three pipe cleaners in half and secure each piece under the piece of felt with hot glue.
