    You can also use crumbled newspaper inside the plastic bag to form the pumpkin.

    After you use your glue, flour, water, and a little salt (to prevent mold) for your strips of paper but still have a little bit left over, you could then add a little bit of spackle to the mixture and make a nice smooth paste that becomes hard as a rock.

    Great video. It’s to the point, pleasant and explains everything clearly without tons of chatter. I thank you very much. I think this might be the very best I’ve watched. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    You could also use spackling as your top layer before you paint🥰 smoothing with a paintbrush and a little bit of water to make the spackling smooth once the spackling dries, you can go over any cracks with more spackling and a damp paint brush until you get the perfect affect.🌸

    Would stuffing it with more bags instead of stuffing work?

    • @dancingfaeries
      @dancingfaeries 2 роки тому +7

      I honestly think it would but the stuffing helps give it a more fluffy smoother appearance whereas I think the other bags would be somewhat bulky or it might give a rugged look. Hope this helps! 😊

    • @TheOldCountryPorch

      I let it mostly dry between layers but not all the way (because I’m impatient lol) it just takes a little longer for the final layer to dry though:)

    Would it be possible to “carve” these into Jack-o-lanterns? Like after they’ve fully dried? Or just best to paint faces on?

    • @TheOldCountryPorch
      @TheOldCountryPorch  2 роки тому +2

      I think it would be better to paint the faces on since the walls are pretty thin. I'm thinking they would probably fall apart if you tried to cut them🤔

      You could do that but I’m not sure how much light would come through especially with the paint. If you end up trying it you’ll have to let me know how well it works!
