 Purchase a pack (4-6) of plastic mini pumpkins
from your dollar store.
Create a paste:
1/2 Elmer's Glue
1/2 water
Tear paper towels into strips.
Paste on
Don't forget to add your eyes and nose.
Allow to dry over night!



Apply acrylic paints
Any embellishments can be added.
Have fun!



You can create your own handles if you wish
(using wire)
or...
use the handles the the pumpkins came with. 
(I created one of each)





These paper-mache
pumpkins
were so much fun to make!
I am definitely in the mood for
Halloween.

Imagine...
what you can create with a dollar!

Have a wonderful Tuesday!
