- 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

My father would love this, he used to carve up pumpkins to look very grotesque.
Brother, this PUMPKIN is FIRE! Amazing, sickening work friend-O!
Thank you very much! 🙌
You totally deserve it, really cool aesthetic!@@SKSProps
Those eyes are gorgeous
Thank you!
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.
I saw some old photos of carved pumpkins that looked rather grotesque.
My father's carved pumpkins would fit right in. 😆
The eyes!! Amazing!😮
Thanks it was a fun project 🙌
What a spooktacular looking pumpkin. 😁
Thanks!
Now that's a creepy jack-o-lantern if ever I've seen one! You've (once again) done a fantastic job.
Thank you very much! 🙌🙌
These are always horrifying and I can't look away! Thanks for sharing another awesome pumpkin build!
Thanks! And you’re welcome! 🙌
Damn! That is AWESOME LOOKING!!. I'd love to have about 20 pumpkins like this. My neighbors already love my decorations, but they'd go nuts over these.
Thanks!
I really love the eyes 👀
Thanks!
Another awesome fantastical creation!
Thank you so much 😀
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! Much love from the Isle of Skye 👍🏻🏴
Thanks! Hopefully you can some day
You got mad sculpting skills, Sir. Always look forward to your Halloween videos. Bet your kids loved this holiday the best.
Thanks man! I appreciate it 🙌
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍!!! Great work of art!!!
Thank you very much! 🙌
I would love to see a video just on your paint techniques! I often rewatch those sections of your builds just to see how you bring all the washes and layers together. This is another masterpiece!
Thanks Shawn! Painting is my favorite part allows me to bring props to life
I absolutely love your work and your videos. As an amature costume-creator, it's all so helpful. Thanks!
Thank you glad I can inspire 🙌
I think out of my foam crafting journey the biggest struggle is getting foam clay to work well for me. Me and sculpting dont get a long. Still need a lot of practice in that area. Love your videos and using your templates
That is my issue too!
Thanks! Sculpting definitely is a different skill set and the only way to get better is to practice! In art school I hated sculpting class and now I love it
I struggled at first. Still struggling, but getting better. Watching Steve has increased my skill tenfold.
I’ve always wanted a Mumm-Ra mask from Thundercats! Is that possible with Eva Foam??
@@spiderken1 anything is possible just match up multiple tutorials of mine. Combine the mummy mask with the detailing of the krampus mask m.ua-cam.com/video/7iSyYUzBCPE/v-deo.html
Super bad ass best foam carved pumpkin 🎃 I've ever seen.
Thank you very much!! 🙌🙌
Rad!!!! This is fantastic!
Thank you very much!
Scarecrow vibes, great job!! Love the mimic style!!
Thanks a lot!
Perfect level of detail in this tutorial - I was able to get all the supplies and make one of my own (1st time) - it turned out really well! That foam clay is an awesome product!! 🎃
Fantastic! Glad I could help 🙌
This is my favorite thing you do every year, dude. So fun.
Glad you enjoy it!
He turned out amazing! Love how the eyes and teeth turned out.
Thank you very much!

Increíble
Thank you!
This is my first time watching one of your videos.
I really want to try and make one of these! I carve real pumpkins with my kids every year, and as you said, it's always a bit of a shame to have to throw them away.
Now, I just have to pluck up the courage to actually try...!
Go for it!🙌
woww.. amazing.^^
thanks!
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!!
You’re welcome! 🙌
Your pumpkin build are so creepy, i love it lol would make a sick prop for a headless horseman costume 👀
Thanks!
This is awesome just wish I could get a hold of the foam pumpkins in the UK
I did do an eva foam pumpkin tutorial a couple years ago it might help you out
Absolutely fantastic!!
Definitely, will give this a try. Seems like well placed LEDs might add a bit more drama.
Maybe some ground effects, under-glow lighting.
Thanks!
Dude, that’s so AWESOME! 🎃👍👍
Happy Halloween 👻
🙏🏼🌏✌🏼🕊☮️
Thank you!
Those eyes are insane! Surprised you didn't cut the pupils out and add lights inside, like maybe a menacing red.
Thanks!
goood job
Thanks! 🙌
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.
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

Hey there!! You’ve inspired me to finally jump back into crafting & cosplay.
I was just wondering if there would be any chance you might make Guts Beserker armour? Maybe Dragonslayer from Beserk?
These are both big dreams of mine but there’s not many sources/tutorials on how to make them. They are quite big projects though so it’s understandable
Thanks! I just make whatever inspires me week to week so not saying I won't but I don't have a specific timeframe for them
Love the pumpkin and the eyes but can u make a hornet mask from hollow knight?
UV Resin also works along with being able to make strands of clear slime and such between teeth
I’m dying here lol everyone is out of your foam. Not available until Nov 1st. That’ll teach me to buy earlier
We have been selling so much of it!! But don't worry I have 2 big orders dropping soon to the shipping center!
Your work is incredible but I wonder, do you think you can make a legend of zelda orni with eva foam? My nephew was amazed by his wendigo costume but now he asks me to revali but I don't know how to do it.
great work! what type of clay exaclty do you use?
Links in the video description
Truly horrific. A great addition to your scary pumpkins.
Thanks you!
Hi Steve, I'm carving my own foam pumpkins from Michael's and Joann's Fabrics. My wood burner with blade attachment isn't slicing easily through the foam. What wattage and temperature are you using? Brand and model of burner?
There’s a link to the one I use in the description section. It has a temp gauge and I just put it on the highest setting
Thanks Steve. I just ordered the burner using your link in the description!
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! ❤️
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
Looks like my uncle Gary.
How well do those materials hold up it you display it outside exposed to the elements?
Mine are inside. Outside you’d want to seal it with a polyurethane but the sun will eventually fade the colors
This pumpkin is saying "You tryin' to make pumpkin pie outtuhv me?!!".
Can this be located outdoors and not breakdown?
I’d probably do a spray coat of polyurethane but the sun can and will fade the paint eventually. But the elements shouldn’t affect the pumpkin, foam, or foam clay
You are very talented. I would love to have a couple of these for my Halloween Party Decorations. Would you be interested in making a couple for sale?
Unfortunately I no longer take public commissions that’s why I do the videos for others to make their own
I wish i could get your Foam products in my country in Europe. Here we only have low quality eva foam.
☹️ that stinks. I wish I could as well but at this time my distributor is just US based
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
I already made a template for craft pumpkins I put it out 2 years ago
make Mihawk's hat
BERSERK ARMOR!!!!
Here I was hoping you were gonna make the pumpkin out of foam first.
I did that 3 years ago go back through the videos
Man this shit looks so easy.......but it most certainly isnt. Lol
True 😉 but hopefully I make it look easy enough for people to give it a shot
wow u could should work for disney or WB thats crazy
Thanks! Teaching people is what I enjoy and much more fun than working for a company
