Scribble Pumpkins are sure to be a hit in any home!
What you need:
- A small ball of orange yarn (reserve a long piece of yarn for hanging your pumpkin once it’s dry)
- Parchment paper
- A marker or pencil
- Black construction paper
- Scissors
How-to:
- Add approximately ¼ cup water and ¼ cup glue to a small mixing bowl and stir. Don't use too much water or it will not work.
- Place the parchment paper on a tray.
- Draw the outline of a pumpkin on parchment paper.
- Place the orange yarn into the glue mixture. Make sure it is coated with the mixture. Lay it inside of your pumpkin drawing. Don’t lay it straight—spread it out in big swirls! Fill out the entire shape that you drew. Make sure you have several layers so the yarn sticks to itself. This will give your pumpkin structure so it stays together. Gently press on the yarn as you place it around the shape.
- Draw jack-o-lantern shapes on the black construction paper to make the face of your pumpkin. Cut out the shapes. Press them onto the wet yarn.
- Allow the piece to dry for 12-24 hours.
- When it’s dry, the yarn will peel right off the parchment paper.
- Loop the reserved piece of yarn through the pumpkin and hang it up!
