Wicked Witch Pumpkin Party

In this fun project, you get to give your creativity free region to transform an ordinary pumpkin into a fantastic Halloween Witch!  It is up to you to decide if your witch will be spooky, scary, sassy, or sweet!  Now, lets get started!


Here's How to do it:

To begin, select a fresh pumpkin!

Now, roll 2 clay eyes, shape a long crooked nose and perhaps you can add a wart!  Make a mouth and decide whether to roll a sweet smile or a scary scowl.  For the final touch, you can break the remaining clay into 2 pieces to make her a hat. With one of the sections, roll a ball flatten it like a pancake, and make the other into a triangle. Now, attach the triangle to the pancake with a toothpick and glue, and you have a witch hat!

Now, its time to attach all the clay pieces to your fresh pumpkin using glue and toothpicks. To do this you will need to break a toothpick in a half and push each piece of toothpick into your pumpkin where you want the eyes to go.  Follow the same process for its mouth and use a whole toothpick for its nose. (You may need the help of an adult to do this) Now add glue to each area and attach the eyes, mouth, nose, and hat to the pumpkin.

Once that step is finished, it is time to paint!  Mix a variety of colors for the witch’s eyes, hat, and skin.  You will need to add some acrylic medium to each color so it will stick to the pumpkin.

For the final touch, you can attach eyelashes and hair. Select the color pipe cleaners that you would like for the witch's hair and push them straight into her hat. Add a few multi colored sticks to the eyes for eyelashes. When you are finished, allow several hours to dry and then display proudly!!!
