This year I want to make a pumpkin patch display in my front yard consisting of a bunch of these types of pumpkins. No battery powered since they’ll be outside. But I want to know if there’s anywhere online that sells this type of stuff in bulk. I would appreciate any suggestions/help, thank y’all in advance!
it’s giving ‘hello weary traveler’
I made him the standard way with papier mache clay, but then covered in brown packing paper that I dipped into paste and crinkled on the surface. Creates an amazing texture especially when dry brushed afterwards!
This is just some foamy clay and two bowls,ideally the bowls should be some cheaper plastic ones so they’re more easy to cut with scissors but hard ones are fine too just require the wood burning pen,for the inside to hide the lights I used some random things I had lying around to make fake candles (thin plastic tubes or those cheap plastic Christmas candles) ideally the thing used to make the candle should be thin plastic so it can glow,as for the flame I just put cellophane on a pencil and dripped hot glue to form a translucent flame which can be painted to achieve a different glow,painting the inside of the pumpkin can determine the glow and since I want a lot of these I painted some different colours but orange is the best for a realistic glow,if someone’s curious about some specific things on some pumpkins feel free to ask and on average I spent 7 dollars on a pumpkin (the price varies by size and how much clay is used) and for every pumpkin shown here I spent 35 dollars which is very budget friendly,next project is a lifesize witch with a sculpted head and hands that’s actually finished but I can’t figure out how to make her stand,I’ll share when that’s done and I have lots more cheap crafts I’ll share soon
Target dollar spot has started their Halloween stuff!
I wanted to do something fun for the Fourth, and I thought this would be a great small project to gear up for Halloween crafting in the next few months.
Finished it in a few hours, mostly waiting for paint to dry. I felt like it needed something after putting it up, so I bought a toddler guitar and I think it’s perfect now.
I like much of what I’m seeing so far. Macabre vintage carnival/ magic show paraphernalia….repros of old posters, on various formats. I love the big serving platter with the turbaned dude, but it’s $50! Also divination-themed stuff with some nice fortunetelling and astrology pillows. A few of the ornaments are well-designed, imho. And these vintage looking floral picks. Everything seems rather expensive, but some of the stuff is quite atmospheric and unusual. I think I’m onboard. Also some summerween stuff, but that’s not at all to my taste. To each their own, though.
I want to start working on these plywood cut outs for Halloween. My “front yard” is a narrow and steep angle. It’s technically an HOA area. How can I stabilise these so they don’t fly out of the ground and into a car. It’s gets pretty windy where I live around October.
Ideally I don’t want to attach anything to the house either.
