DIY Large Halloween Paper Mache Pumpkin

 

  You can paper mache almost anything, including pumpkins!


 To begin, I grabbed a medium garbage bage and stuff it with newspaper in the same of a small ball. Then Then I used masking tape shape and add the dips in my pumpkin. Next I used some cardboard to make a stem and then taped it to the top of my pumpkin.

 

 For my paper mache I cut up strips of newspaper and mixed up some flour and water to create a glue paste.


 I did about 3 layers of newspaper, allow each layer time to dry in between.

 

Next I grabbed my poster paint and painted my pumpkin white. You could paint your orange or any other colour and add any type of details you like. I wanted to keep it simple. 

 

 To highlight the ridges I used a marker and drew faint black lines. 

And that was my pumpkin done.
