Googley-Eyed Pumpkins // diy
We’re heading into the final weekend before Halloween. This is the first year that Sunny has been super super excited about the holiday. She keeps demanding that I take her to Halloween. And I keep explaining that Halloween is a day, not a place.
So we’ve been doing arts and crafts and planning our costumes to pass the time until the big event. I will do a post devoted to the kids costumes next week, but the decision was based solely on Addison’s love of a red fleece cape that my mother gave her. There were only so many options – any guesses? And Courtland has a coordinating character to go along with big sister.
In the meantime, they’re getting their glow-in-the-dark skeleton on.
Since I tackled this DIY while solo parenting, I wanted to keep mess and skill to a minimum. All we needed was some glue and some googley eyes, and BOOM! A creepy, googley-eyed pumpkin was made!
Materials:
Pumpkin
Glue (we used Mod Podge)
Brush
Googley-eyes
Directions:
1. Paint pumpkin with glue.
2. Stick googley-eyes on pumpkin in the arrangement you desire.
3. Let dry.
Crazy easy, eh? These little guys are sure to give Trick-or-Treaters the heebie jeebies! It would be cool to do this project on a larger pumpkin and try completely coating the surface in eyes. Much like theseĀ Louboutin heels, but $1,590 less expensive.
