Directions:
- Turn the paper bowl over and paint the entire backside orange and let it dry.
- After it has completely dried, draw a pumpkin face on the bottom with pencil. Cut out the mouth and nose that you have drawn. You may cut out eyes also, but in the samples shown the eyes were drawn on white paper first and then glued on. This way you are able to make them more expressive.
- Outline the features with a black felt-tip marker. Add a few vertical lines to make the bowl look like a real pumpkin.
- On the inside of the bowl tape or glue a piece of bright yellow paper. This will make it look like the pumpkin has a light on inside.
- Make a brown stem and green leaves from the construction paper. You may make vines with the green curling ribbon. Ask an adult to help curl the ribbon with scissors. Attach the stem, vine and leaves with tape or glue.
You may use paper dinner plates instead of bowls for a different look. The Funny Faces are perfect to decorate a wall, door or a bulletin board. |
