You can use garbage bags over fiber fill, if you don’t like to worry about the balloon popping, and you can get much more deep pumpkin bumps. The fiber fill will come out just like air. Viva paper towels do not have patterns on them, and make the best paper mache. And instead of using drywall compound, use concrete mix instead, it’s cheaper and can be made as thick as you want.
we often made lanterns out of silkpaper,wallpaper glue and thin wire this way at home in the autumn.that's over 40 years ago,when i was a kid and i liked it.
Um, so what happened to the balloons after these were complete? Sorry, there's no mention of that or if they were removed upon cutting? remnants still inside? I'm confused
Good question. I believe they were removed for the jack o'lanterns, but the balloon would still be inside the one that was not cut into. Hope that helps :)
@@TotalPamarchy okay, but how were the remnants removed with the small cuts made? or was there a bigger cut made at the top or bottom? The small cuts don't look large enough to fit a hand
Happy Halloween! I hope you enjoyed this craftainment video and that you have a spooktacular weekend!

Awesome! Thanks for the tips! And thanks for watching ☺️
@@TotalPamarchy welcome 😁 I made about 100 of these puppies back in the day
Oh wow! That's amazing! They are really fun though, and I kind of want to make more at some point 🤣

Thank Jacob! I really wasn't sure how they'd look but was very happy with them ☺️

I think I just pulled them out of the mouths by hand or used something to pull them out with.
Nice work Pam, they look awesome!
Thanks so much! I really wasn't sure how they would turn out, but I'm pretty happy with the results :)
Love the idea but there is just something about the smell of a pumpkin burned by a candle that just says ‘Halloween’
Haha don't disagree with you. I still enjoy carving a pumpkin 😁

Putting the elastics around the balloon
Took me almost an hour.
Oh no! That sounds very frustrating.

Never carve a pumpkin again! Unless you use real candles in these ones... 🔥🔥🔥 lol!
Lol I think real candles would be problematic! Lol
