Kids loved it so I hope you will too :)
Here I have an easy, fun idea for a carved pumpkins that kids can transform into colourful happy
Mexican Sugar Skulls!
Materials we use:
- medium size pumpkins
- white acrylic paint + paint brush
- all sort of craft embellishments
- stickers
- faux flowers
- sewing pins
- drawing pins
- Sharpie pens or permanent marker
- pencil- glue
Step 1
Carve your pumpkins first then paint them white and leave it to dry.
Already cute.
You might want to leave them like this for yourself for a quick modern Halloween decor ;)
...or give it to children to decorate.
Step 2
If you give them away then let kiddos have fun!
Some of them decorate the outline of the eyes first using self-adhesive gems...
then draw the mouths using pencil, then redo with a black marker.
Step 3
Now another fun part of decorating using embellishments, stickers, markers and even gold drawing pins.
Step 4
Its time to decorate with faux flowers!I dismantled some of the flowers so the petals can be mixed up ;)
We use sewing pins to attach.
That's it, all ready for Halloween!
You might have noticed they've been crafting on Halloween themed paper ;)I use large format paper and drew some skulls and bones so they can do some colouring too!
And oh my, they did :D
We then light up our pumpkins and enjoyed their colourful faces :)
Enjoy!
