Frankenpumpkin is now finished and hanging out with his friends
mummy pumpkin, and
vampire pumpkin. Two more friends will hopefully be joining them this week.
I started by painting one of the dollar store craft pumpkins a deep forest green color.
I painted the top portion black and bringing it down into points, to look more like hair.
I glued on some large google eyes that I found at the dollar store. To make his bolts, I painted two clear push pins black. If you have small children, you might want to glue them into place. I just pushed them into the pumpkin, but they are easy to pull out.
The brush I used for his stitches was a little too thick, so I might touch him back up with a little bit of forest green. Monsters are not supposed to look perfect though, so it doesn't really matter if the stitches are a little uneven.
Too cute! I LOVE your blog and thanks so much for following me:-)
