Craft Supplies:

  • White Blank Square Canvas
  • Jumbo Popsicle Sticks
  • Brown/Orange Craft Paint
  • Paint Brushes
  • Paper Plate
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Black Tulip Puffy Paint
  • Large Wiggle Eyes
  • Decorative Bow

Directions:

  1. Squirt some orange/brown craft paint on your paper plate.
  2. Paint your canvas completely brown, while paint your EIGHT out of nine jumbo popsicle sticks completely orange. The ONE lonely popsicle stick should be painted brown.
  3. Set them all aside to let them dry.
  4. When your pieces are dry enough, get the glue gun hot and ready!
  5. Remember that single leftover popsicle stick? Hot glue it to the back of your painted canvas. This will be the stem of the pumpkin.
  6. Now hot glue the remaining painted popsicle sticks onto the canvas. All of them in a line, next to each other, like a fence.
  7. Once the popsicle sticks are down, hot glue the wiggle eyes in place {along with the decorative bow!}
  8. Finish off the craft by using black Tulip paint to draw on a smile for Spookley.
  9. Then set it all aside your square pumpkin canvas to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!!!
