Equipment
Small paintbrush
Hot glue gun
Ingredients
110 inch foam craft pumpkin
25 inch foam craft pumpkins
Black permanent marker
Yellow craft paint
Orange craft paint
Green polymer clay
2bamboo skewers
glue sticks
Instructions
Trace or free-hand draw Mickey’s face onto the pumpkin with pen.
Use a small paintbrush to paint the eyes, nose and mouth yellow. Let dry completely. Then, use a black permanent marker to trace the yellow eyes, nose and mouth so that they stand out
Use a quarter-sized piece of green polymer clay to make a pumpkin leaf and vine. Bake the clay on an oven-safe pan for 15 minutes per ¼ inch of thickness at a temperature of 275 degrees Fahrenheit. After the clay has baked and cooled completely glue it to the pumpkin stem with hot glue.
Pierce each side of the pumpkin with the bamboo skewers and attach the smaller pumpkins to each side of Mickey’s head to make the ears. Add a little bit of hot glue if necessary to secure the ears.
Notes
If the two smaller pumpkins do not match the large pumpkin use orange craft paint to paint them all the same color. Dry before adding to the larger pumpkin.
