| Author Notes: |
If you are looking for some inexpensive, easy crafts for your kids this Halloween, head out to your backyard to start the fun. Have the kids hunt around for different shaped rocks. Long, slender rocks for ghosts, oval shapes for spiders, and just about any stout rock will make a great pumpkin! Important Note: Be sure to keep these cute crafts out of the reach of small children under the age of 3 years. Wiggle eyes can be easily removed and swallowed, or worse yet, choked upon. |
| Supplies: |
stout, roundish rock orange tempura paint black marker small amount of raffia 3-4 silk leaves tacky or hot glue 3/4" piece of green chenille stick bits of facial tissue |
| Instructions: |
The texture of the rock for the pumpkin can be smooth, bumpy, or even
jagged, as it was in our case. Before you begin, stand the rock up in
the position you would like it to be when your craft is complete. Ours
was a little tricky, we just leveled him off using the raffia and tissue.
Paint the rock orange and let it dry. Using a black marker, draw on pumpkin's
face. Glue silk leaves to the bottom of your pumpkin. Using bits of Kleenex
for leveling and bunches of raffia, glue rock onto "straw bed". Top off
your pumpkin rock with green chenille for the stem by folding in half
and gluing on top of pumpkin's head.
