Harvest Crafts for Halloween - Scarecrows

Pumpkin Head Scarecrow

Go beyond the traditional Jack O Lantern for your outdoor Halloween decor. Make a scarecrow and mount your pumpkin head on the top! This design preserves the pumpkin by using paint and stick on cotton to create the facial features.

Easy scarecrow or Halloween dummy: Stuff old clothes with crumpled newspapers or dry leaves (for outdoor use). Arrange pants and shirt against a fence or wall, then rest the pumpkin head top the shirt. Use old boots and stuffed work gloves for feet and hands. Tie on a bandana at the neck area, and top the scarecrow off with an old hat.

Make a Pumpkin Spider

Painted mini pumpkins and craft findings make a unique Spider decoration

You can make a spooky spider decoration from a miniature pumpkin. All you need are black paint, pipe cleaners and googly eyes.

Materials
White paint
Miniature pumpkins or round-flat gourds (Jack be Little)
Black chenille jumbo pipe cleaners
Googly eyes or white felt and black map pins

Supplies
Paint brush
Drill or large nail and hammer to punch holes for legs
Rubber or latex gloves to keep hands clean
Newspapers or drop cloths
Painters mask or respirator if using spray paint

Directions
Protect work surface with newspapers or drop cloths.

Drill 8 small holes in a ring around the sides and back of the pumpkin top - leave space in front for face. These will be where you insert chenille pipe cleaners for the spider legs.

Working outdoors or in a well-ventilated area,
paint the pumpkins totally black with glossy acrylic or spray paint. (Use a respirator mask if using spray paint.)

When paint is dry, paint two white eye circles for outer eyes and one circle for a mouth to create the spider face. Allow to dry, then stick black map pins into the eye shapes or add a black paint dot to the center bottom of each eye shape.

Bend each chenille pipe cleaner about 1/3 of the way down to form a "knee" in each spider leg. Insert a pipe cleaner leg into each hole and arrange or trim legs as needed.

Pumpkin Decorating Without Knives - No Cutting! No Drilling!

Pumpkin Decorating Alternatives to Carving

Decorate pumpkins with Paint, or glue on different pieces of craft yarn, felt or buttons to create funky faces. Add an old hat and a paper cutout mask.

Pumpkin Painting: Painted pumpkins outlast carved pumpkins by months! Painting pumpkins is easy, safe and not as messy as carving pumpkins. So, grab a paint brush and have FUN!
