Etape par étape

Materials

To create a decorated pumpkin, you will need:

- a glass pumpkin lantern

- orange and green tissue paper

- glue varnish and a wide brush

- 2 movable eyes Ø 2.5 cm

- strong white glue

- a sheet of black self-adhesive flexible rubber

- a white paint marker

- a pair of scissors

Step 1

Start by cutting about thirty squares of approximately 3 cm from a sheet of orange tissue paper.

Step 2

Apply a layer of glue varnish on the lantern, then stick the squares of tissue paper, overlapping them randomly across the entire surface. After gluing each square, apply a layer of glue varnish on top using a wide brush.

Once the surface of the lantern is completely covered, allow it to dry for about an hour.

Step 3

Glue 2 Ø 2.5 cm googly eyes using a strong white glue.

Step 4

Cut out the nose and mouth of the pumpkin from a soft, self-adhesive black rubber sheet and then stick them onto the lantern.

You can also draw teeth using a white paint marker.

Step 5

You can choose to use your pumpkin as a lantern by placing a candle inside, or as a simple decorative element by slipping a green tissue paper ball inside.
