  • How to Carve a craft Foam Pumpkin tutorial using a Foam Pumpkin, eva foam, and foam clay. In this video I go over all of the steps it takes to fabricate your own foam Pumpkin. From cutting the pumpkin using a hot knife to sculpting on additional details using eva HD Foam and Foam Clay I also show how I painted this pumpkin using Liquitex acrylics and Createx airbrush paints. Plus one of my favorite steps is showing how to make some awesome monster eyes using christmas bulbs and foam clay

    Could you imagine dropping that bad boy off on a porch in the early 1900's? I dare say, it would have scared even the most stout-hearted trick or treater right back to their homes and possibly changed how Hallowe'en is viewed today/

      You'd be surprised to see how some people carved their pumpkins back then.

    Watching this from my home in the Scottish highlands where Halloween isn’t a big deal….unfortunately, as I love it. Your work is incredible and I wish I had the means to try making stuff here - everything sold up here is super expensive due to transport costs and tax, but if I win the lottery or bag myself a sugar daddy, (who’d have to be pretty old given that I’m 45), I’d buy everything I needed to keep me making stuff for the rest of my life!

    So, I use foam clay a lot, but for fake food.... I also make "horror dolls" from thrift shop dolls, and honestly I never thought to use foam clay because I wasn't sure if it would shrink or dry wonky... I usually use dap sir dry clay, but that has its own potential issues and I don't have as much of it around.
    Now, seeing this, it has me rethinking that thought process, lol! I also use plumber putty, which is a 2 part clay epoxy that is WAYYYY cheaper than the artist 2 part epoxy putty and is basically the same thing. I just find it dries a bit faster, so it's harder to work W if you need more time to scuplt it.
    So glad I watched this video 😁 thank you!!

    Your work is always excellent. I am new to crafting with HD and foam clay and your videos are great tutorials in tips, tricks and ideas. One of the things I am still struggling with is the foam clay and how to keep the texture and grooves in it as it drys. It seems after I leave it over night I wake up an d most of the texture if not all is gone. Do I need to constantly carve into the foam to keep texture? You help with this would be extremely helpful as I am making a foam pumpkin now and using foam clay on the stem. Thank you.

    • @SKSProps
      @SKSProps  6 місяців тому +1

      Don’t worry that’s normal. Every brand is different and why mine has a higher moisture content. but Foam clay on average will smooth out details as moisture wicks out of it so you have to sculpt them much deeper than you might think. Also why on props I’ll just let it dry for several days and detail it using my rotary tool and wire brushes

    Very nice, Very good Work but imagine working on All that on the Foam pumpkin when people's eyes can't handle chemicals anymore! Can't use Clay or Any clays, can't use any sort of Paint and can't use any Glue except maybe Kid's Glue school glues! It sucked, Badly! But if your eyes can handle all those chemicals go for it keep up the Creative works! ❤️

    • @SKSProps

      That sounds bad but you can buy a foam pumpkin and cut it with a reg knife not a heat tool. and the great thing is foam clay , acrylic paints, and mod podge for glue are all non toxic products that's why I use them

    You should sell templates for people like me who are not good at drawing. Make the templates in different sizes that match up to the 3-4 sizes craft stores sell
