So now you’re set!
Kennedy and Chris are here to help.. We mixed up a solution of roughly 1 part white glue to 1 part water.. Kennedy got herself set up on the kitchen floor with some newspaper and paper towels strips and then got to work.She dipped each strip in the gluey water and smooshed it onto the pumpkin shape.
Who doesn’t love the feeling of squishing glue between their fingers?.In the end, we had a couple of pumpkins that looked like this!We left them to dry on some plastic wrap for about 2 days, or until they were as hard as rock.. We used some orange and black paint to make them a little bit festive and that was it!.
They don’t look half bad when they’re grouped together with a whole bunch of real pumpkins in the mudroom..This little mini guy was my test pumpkin.
You can see that if you want to take your time with them and make the paper towel strips a bit smoother, that you can actually get a pretty cute pumpkin out of this method.. …or you can just let your kids go nuts and make some great Halloween memories!.
Have fun getting messy!If you don’t know about this one and you’re a baker, even on occasion, then you’ve definitely been missing out.I took these a few days ago as the leaves were starting to really get fally.. Here’s our house on a beautiful sunny Fall day.
You’ve seen our.mudroom entrance way.
already, but I guess this sort of our “real” front entrance decorations.Although we don’t use that entrance.
