Now that they are nice and dry I cut the 3 inch hole at the top and bottom. Pointed side up. By cutting the hole at the bottom they now sit nice and flat and you can put a candle in them. I recommend the little imitation batteries operated candles.
Cut face out with scissors or exacto knife.
Paint them orange. Two or three coats of paint will be needed.
After paint has fully dried, they were sealed with clear polyurethane spray
We painted the eyes black.

ReplyDeleteThose are SO cool! I really could have used those last year when we waited til the last minute to get pumpkins and all the good ones were gone. Of course, I probably still would have needed more time to let them dry! Would you say the paper mache is easier than carving real pumpkins?
