Maybe you go full-blown haunted house, make a holiday treat, and have listed pumpkin-carving as a special skill on your resume. Secure to the body with skewers (break, as needed).Maybe your Halloween tradition is to carve a sole pumpkin, set out a bowl of candy, and watch from the window as all the tiny witches and ghosts clamor on your porch steps. Turn the remaining pumpkin quarters face down and use the hot glue to affix three pumpkin seeds to each to resemble claws. Cut pointy ears from two of the pumpkin quarters and press into the pumpkin head with a skewer (break, as needed), allowing the fleshy side to face forward. Using the craft knife, cut the small pumpkin into quarters (slice in half horizontally, then in half vertically), scraping away any excess flesh with the spoon. Apply a dot of hot glue to each acorn and affix to the eye socket caps as pupils. Remove the caps of slightly smaller acorns. Flip each cap curved-side out and press into the sockets. To create eye sockets, etch slightly deeper holes. With the tip of the craft knife, etch out a thin smile by scraping away just the top layer of rind. Position a small pumpkin so the stem is centered where the nose should sit and push down on the skewers to secure.
(Tip: If the skewers sink into the squash too much as you attach the gourd, simply pinch each with two fingers to hold in place while the gourd slides onto the individual skewer.)īreak four skewers in half and press them into the top of the squash body, leaving 2" exposed. Press the bell-shaped orange gourd into the skewers at the back of the squash to secure as the tail. Break five skewers in half and stick them into the back of the squash where the tail should sit, leaving 2" exposed. Make the Fox Pumpkin: Stand the variegated squash straight up. He'll greet party guests and trick-or-treaters with a welcoming smile. Invite this happy friend into your house or onto your front porch.
