Materials Needed:
- A large balloon
- Newspaper or scrap paper
- Glue
- Water
- Scissors
- Craft knife
- Tape
- White, orange, and black paint
- Airbrush or sponge
Instructions:
- Inflate the balloon to your desired size and place it in a small bowl for stability.
- Tear newspaper or scrap paper into strips.
- Mix water and glue to create a paste. Dip the paper strips in the paste and layer them over the balloon, leaving an opening at the bottom. Let it dry completely.
- Use scissors to pop the balloon and carefully trim the edges of the opening. Press down slightly on the top to shape it like a pumpkin.
- Draw a circle on cardboard and cut it out. Create a cone by cutting two diagonal lines 3-5 cm apart and connecting the ends.
- Crumple more paper to form paper tubes, tape them together, and fit them into the cone. Secure with tape on both ends.
- Attach the cone to the top of the pumpkin using tape, then cover the entire surface with paper and paste.
- Draw a classic Jack-o’-lantern face, paint around it white, and carefully cut out the face.
- Paint the entire pumpkin orange. Use an airbrush or sponge with black paint to add texture and outline the face.
- Paint the stem black.
This Jack-o’-lantern can be used as a mask or decorated with lights for a festive touch. Enjoy your creative Halloween decoration!
