That's right people, I'm getting my craft on =). I don't craft much, I used to a lot more when I was younger. Secretly I want to be the next Martha Stewart so I wish I had more time to do it all =). I call this my Pumpkin Snowman, although the site I adapted it from calls it a "Halloween Jack-O'-Lantern Totem." Pumpkin Snowman is just easier to remember and easier to say. I just wanted to share because if you don't craft (or if you do) this is one of the easiest crafts you could possibly make. I'm talking paint, glue, ribbon over some faux pumpkins with a little bit of cutting. It was actually really fun to make and I love having him on my front porch to welcome visitors and soon all the Trick-or-Treaters. I made it last year and it's actually held up really well since it's made from the faux pumpkins. Happy Halloween!
Here is what you will need:2 white faux pumpkins1 orange faux pumpkin (make sure they pumpkins are all they close to the same size)1 spool of 3/8" ribbon (I used two kinds, velvet and the wavy)black acrylic paintwhite acrylic paintsmall craft paintbrushhot glue gun and plenty of glue stickspumpkin carving tool or sharp knife
Directions:1. Using the pumpkin carving tool, take one of the white pumpkins and cut a hole in the bottom making sure the hole is large enough for the stem of the orange pumpkin to fit through the hole. Repeat this step with the orange pumpkin making sure the hole on bottom of the orange pumpkin is large enough to fit the stem of the second white pumpkin.2. Paint eyes on pumpkins using black and white acrylic paint.3. Cut ribbon into random lengths to create mouths. Using the hot glue gun, glue ribbon to pumpkins below the eyes, curving the ribbon as desired.4. Using the hot glue, glue the bottom of the first white pumpkin to the top of the orange pumpkin. Then glue the bottom of the orange pumpkin to the top of the remaining white pumpkin (note: I found the pumpkin to be lightweight and since I wanted to keep it outdoors I added a few heavy rocks to the bottom white pumpkin to give it some weight so it wouldn't tip easily).
