Materials

  • 1 3"/7.5cm tall Foam Pumpkin
  • 2 Mini Foam Pumpkins
  • Acrylic Craft Paint – Off-White Light, Medium, and Dark Orange
  • 1 2"/5cm Terra Cotta Pot
  • Brown Gingham Ribbon
  • Green Moss
  • Rock – One Large or Several Small
  • Scrap Paper
  • Paper Towel

Instructions
 

  • Remove any labels or clips from the pumpkins. If the pumpkins are super shiny, rough up the surface with sandpaper so the paint has a surface to stick to.
  • Basecoat the large and two mini foam pumpkins with medium orange acrylic craft paint. Set aside to dry and apply a second coat, if necessary. Add a few strokes of light orange and dark orange acrylic craft paint for depth and dimension.

  • Mark placement of the mini pumpkins where the ears should be on the large pumpkin. Press the foam in with your thumb on the large pumpkin to flatten the areas where the mini pumpkin ears will be attached. Carefully attach the pumpkin ears with a glue gun and glue sticks.
