Do you have any pumpkins sitting on your porch?
Don't want to carve them because it's too messy and time consuming.
This is quick and easy . . . and quite spooky looking.
Make a scary witch with your pumpkin.
First, turn your pumpkin on its side. The stem will be her crooked nose!
Get some messy moss for her hair and cover it with a witch's hat.
I was going to draw on her wicked face with a magic marker, but decided to cut out her eyes, eyebrows and mouth from black sparkly felt. I put green buttons in her eyes and green teeth cut from craft foam on her mouth. I thought that made her look a little evil. If you don't like evil, then leave that part out. You could make her a happy witch!
I added a few other decorations - like orange spiders in her hair and on her crooked nose.
Pretty creepy looking!
You can use different materials than I did. I used what I had on hand. Be imaginative and give her green hair (if you have any Easter grass still hanging around your craft room).
I think she will look kinda spooky on my front porch tonight when we greet the trick or treaters!
What's on your front porch?
Nothing; we rarely have kids come by anymore. I said nothing, but there are little spiders in the windows; does that count? :)
ReplyDeleteYour witch does look frightening!! :)
What a clever way to use a pumpkin and way less messy. Stop by sometime.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I love it. We live in sunny FL where pumpkins melt, so it's insanity to actually carve them. I keep thinking I need to take up painting them, but this is a super cute alternative.

Janet,
ReplyDeleteI love your header photo. It is very pretty. This is a great idea for a Halloween decoration. This makes a great decoration and without the mess of having to cut a pumpkin. Great idea!
