DIY - Jack O’Lantern
Halloween is not really Halloween unless there is a Jack O’Lantern on your doorstep! But carving the pumpkin is a perilous step, so this year we will play it safe and show you a simple way to decorate it without carving it.
Material
- White Gesso Spray
- 505 Temporary adhesive
- 303 Permanent adhesive
- A pumpkin
- Strips of black fabric
- 2 wiggly eyes
- Super glue
- Scrap paper
- A pair of scissors
Paint the pumpkin
Protect the work surface, clean the pumpkin and dry it. Shake the White Gesso Spray aerosol and spray gesso on the pumpkin from a distance of 10" (25cm) away. Let dry for 40 minutes.
Prepare your fabric
Tip : To easily cut fabric, spray 505 on the front of your fabric, from a distance of 10" (25 cm) away, then adhere the fabric to a sheet of scrap paper. This will make the cutting process much easier for you.
Cut
Cut the fabric :
- Two ovals for the eyes
- A 6" (15cm) strip of black fabric
- 5 smaller strips for the mouth stitches
Adhere the strips
Spray 303 permanent adhesive on the back of the strips of fabric, from a distance of 8" (20 cm) away. Then adhere the strips to the pumpkin, and remove the paper backing.
Stick the eyes
To make your pumpkin scarier, stick 2 wiggly eyes with super glue.
Your Halloween Jack O’Lantern is now ready !
