Welcome friends! I’m so EXCITED that you landed on today’s Pumpkin Frankenstein craft idea!
If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been on a No Carve Pumpkin technique kick for the past few weeks on Glued To My Crafts.
In fact – I’ve never been too fond of the idea of decorating pumpkins this time of year {I think they are beautiful just the way they are} but now that my head is spinning with tons of ideas on how to paint & decorate these beauties – I’m HOOK!
Without further ado – today I have another decorating idea to add to the blog archives. It’s just a simple pumpkin turned into an adorable No Carve Pumpkin Frankenstein. NO special tools or technique required – just a little imagination and paint!
So let the kids become a “mad scientist” this Halloween season, by skipping the mess of traditional pumpkin carving and going for a NO CARVE Frankenstein Pumpkin option this year! It’s so much better for little ones to participate with AND the finished pieces will last longer too!
Happy crafting this Halloween season, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your Frankensteins made out of pumpkins on our Facebook page! #gluedtomycrafts
No Carve Frankenstein Pumpkin Supplies:
* Real Pumpkins {big or small, we used mini}
* Black/Green/White Craft Paint
* Foam Paint Brushes
* Black Craft Foam
* Hot Glue Gun
* Craft Scissors
Directions:
* First paint your pumpkin completely green. Then grab your black/white paint and give facial features {think eyes, stitched mouth, hair} to Frankenstein to give him life. Set aside to let it dry completely.
* While the paint is drying, go ahead and cut out some bolts/ears {two} from the black craft foam.
* To finish off your No Carve Pumpkin Frankstein, hot glue the bolts on the side of the pumpkin’s face {one on each side} and display proudly!
