My first reaper victim requested a pumpkinrot so I did some googling!

Step 1: carve a fake pumpkin, cover it in modge podge, and then cover with unwrapped cotton balls

Step 2: after it dries, cover in another layer of modge podge

Step 3: spray paint black

Step 4: paint shades of brownish orange

These are really easy to make and kinda addicting too

this is awesome thanks for sharing i am going to give it a try

You definitely want to give it plenty of time for it to dry between step 1 and 2. Otherwise the cotton will come off and get stuck all over your brush.

What a simple but effective technique!! I will be doing at least one of these for next year... Hmmm... I have a Nightmare before Christmas yard display for Christmas in the works, These would look great in that as well!
Thanks for posting!!

[kloey74]

Modge podge is usually found in the craft isle with glues and sealants.

You made this look so easy! I have modge podge, paints (including black spray paint) and the cotton... now I need to go get me a funkin Thanks for sharing Kloey!

That is awesome. I was starting to wonder when the first picture came up with cotton all over the pumpkin. Then was inspired when I saw the final picture. Great idea. Thanks

Love this look. I'm new to the fake pumpkins, where did you get yours? Is this a funkin? How expensive are they and would it be light enough to float them from the ceiling (like in Harry Potter)?

Sorry I have so many questions but I would love to recreate this for a Harry Potter party

I got mine at Michael's. They are about 10 to 15 dollars. I think you could hang them if the string was strong enough.

Awesome job

 

[Push Eject]

Really cool idea and technique.

 

[lizzyborden]

Wow! I was just going to PM you to ask you how you did mine and I found this thread. I guessed the cotton balls but not the modge podge.

Nice tutorial, good work! Thanks for sharing.

You can do this with electric pumpkins from the store as well, of course!

AZ Haunters is doing a corpsing make and take this Sunday, and we'll be including Jack-O-Lanterns!
