I've been making big paper mache halloween props for about a decade, finally trying to venture out into other mediums and I think this would be a perfect starting point. Great video and channel dude, subbed for life!
Hi thanks for the video ❤️. I’m using your method of the pumpkin on beach ball and changing it up somewhat lol . I couldn’t find a video on a giant size pumpkin to make my half size pumpkin carriage . I decided to use an exercise ball and make two halves to glue together and 🤞 crossed it goes well😊. First half is done and on to second half tomorrow. Your video help me find a way to make the carriage now out of spray foam and still be easy enough to follow directions so huge thanks 🎃.
Could you please tell me how Many cans do you have to use for this project Dear God I have been doing the glue, water, flour ,plasters ,paper. I can't wait to try this way. Thank you for sharing this video with us...
I'm starting a project like this actually right away using a yoga ball and loctite. Came on you tube to see if anyone had tips and tricks. I think I'll draw some grooves like a beach ball has on my yoga ball to do a section at at a time. Wish we had cheap spray foam at Walmart up here in Canada lol. Located gets $$$
I work W this stuff a lot over the last 10 yrs making fake food, lol. I find having a skewer handy is my best tip. If the foam is getting too high or if it's got too much air or is getting to a shape you don't like as it's drying, poke it with the skewer & push. It expells the air and the wet foam inside. This works especially good of you're trying to get it to form into a certain shape, especially if it's a pan or something similar.. And I keep poking the same area, then I'll just rip off the foam that squeezed out once it's dry. I hate sanding the foam or cutting it once it's dry bc it has a weird texture once you cut it or sand it and to me it takes away the authentic look.
Don't smooth it out!!! Lol! I use this stuff all the time over the last ten yrs to make fake food (breads, muffins, cupcakes, etc..) and once you take off that dried top layer, to me it gives a weird texture that no matter how you paint it, never looks as good and as real as the cured surface. I use wood stain bc it's super authentic looking for bread, but even with paint, you can't hide the texture once it's cut or sanded. Unfortunately. So, I stay on top of it while it's drying and will poke the top layers with a skewer and push the air and wet foam out, which helps to keep it's form the way I want it to and I don't havr to cut or sand the foam after 😉
This was awesome and you did a great job of explaining it! Thank you so much!

@@MonsterMike816 thank you and happy Halloween 🎃 to you and your family.
Use loctite I made a cauldron with it using a yoga ball worked great
Ohhh, great idea! I might just have to do that!! Thanks for the suggestion, and Happy Halloween 🎃
Could you please tell me how
Many cans do you have to use for this project
Dear God I have been doing the glue, water, flour ,plasters ,paper. I can't wait to try this way. Thank you for sharing this video with us...
I used two cans, depending on the size. Thanks for watching! Happy Halloween 🎃
Question - Could you use Modge Podge instead of the latex?
I wonder if this would work on like. 42” beach ball? How many cans would I need I wonder lol
I believe It would, you may just have to add some extra inside for structural integrity. My guess would be 10-12 cans.

What is the latex for?
I used the latex to go over the stem. Since I had to cut the foam it didn’t look right so the latex smoothed everything out.

Can you jus use plastic wrap instead of plastic bags? I want to do some 36" pumpkins. That's a lot of bags. LOL
I would think you should be fine using plastic wrap. Let me know how it turns out. Happy Halloween 🎃
Time consuming
You can try Pam to release the ball.
