Halloween Cabbage Monster

We have a round cabbage, chestnuts, leaves and we will need a hammer and small nails.

I drew the monster's eyes, nose and mouth and with a very sharp knife I began to carve the cabbage.

Choose two chestnuts, and punch a nail in the middle of every chestnut.

With these nails you will fix the eyes of monster.

Use a hammer to beat easily the nails.

Choose a bigger chestnut which will be the monster's nose. Beat two nails in it, and set this chestnut in the place where you carved out the nose.

Now, choose the chestnuts needed for the monster's mouth. Beat a nail in every chestnut and set them in the carved mouth.

Choose three or four leaves for the monster's hair.

Use very small nails to secure the leaves.

Now, take the bigger leaves and start to make the hair.

Put the leaves on cabbage, and secure them with small nails.

You can make the hair from yellow or green leaves only or you can use rusty leaves, too.

Put a leaf or two at the bottom of cabbage, in this way this will be nicer.

Make a wreath from leaves and use your imagination to decorate the cabbage monster's "head" .

And we finished our cabbage monster.

Make eyebrows of chestnut.

Decorate the monster's face with a smaller leaf or if you have any other decoration idea , use it !

The children have carved nice pumpkins and have decorated other vegetables,too. The Works have been exhibited in the school hall.

My daughter was very happy because our "Cabbage Monster " won the 3rd Place !

" Mouse" made of onions and other vegetables.

Dancing vegetables.

More beautiful and creative works .
