Mummy Pumpkin

Well this mummy pumpkin is definitely not very scary - I think adding google eyes to anything sorta takes the scary away hahaha. Whatever, he's cute!

Just stick some big google eyes on a small Dollar store pumpkin, and wrap with strips of cheesecloth. I gave him a "mouth" by adding a small piece of black cardstock under the cheesecloth and then cut a small slit in the cheesecloth over the paper.

He looks really cute standing on a wood candlestick, but then I stacked him on this painted pail (click here for that post) and added a black bird on top - I couldn't decide if it was too much of a random stack of things so asked my sis, she likes it and says it's cool so I'm leaving it like this. Sometimes I look at something too long and can't tell if it's good!

Mummy Picture

 Last year I posted about a couple cute door covers I saw at the Elementary School - I took one of those ideas and turned it into a tabletop picture for Ronda's seasonal display I just finished for October. I'll show you how it all looks together in a few days, I'm going to break down the projects first!

This is really easy:
-tape together black cardstock to make the background. I made this one 12" x 14".
-cut out 2 big yellow eyes (I used an oval shaped wood box for a pattern, you can totally wing this) and glue to the cardstock. Then glue two small black circles on the yellow ovals.
-cut strips of cheesecloth and randomly glue around the eyes until it looks right. Once everything is glued down trim the edges.
-I clipped this onto a piece of canvas board to give it strength to stand up.
-note I used a glue stick for all of this.

these are the door covers from the school - so cute! The Frankenstein one would also be easy to make tabletop size.
