Halloween is coming up at the end of the month, andit's going to be really fun to blog about. Enjoy posts about constumes, fun ideas and scary stories that I am planning to post. But, this month, I'm going to get started writing a fun How-to about a cool Halloween craft idea. And that is...
Paper Jack-O Lanterns!
Well, let's get started making this!
1. To start off, we wil be taking some paper of any shape, color or size you want and folding it in half.
2. Next, cut out a half pumpkin shape as shown in Image 1 at the bottom of this post. Also, if you want to get creative, you can cut out a stem at the top of the pumpkin, to make it look more realistic. The line should represent where the fold of the paper is.
3. Unfold the cut portion of the paper, and make sure that you are happy with how it turned out. If not, try Step 1 again and try and cut it out so that it looks the way you want.
4. Refold the paper at the same place and using a pencil lightly draw an outline of a face as shown in image two. Make sure that all your lines are able to be cut from the fold. When you do this, it should resemble Image 2.
5. After you have done this, cut out the lines with the pencil and unfold your pumpkin. It should resemble Image 3.
6. From this, you can put some individuality on your pumpkin. You can add bows, and mustaches and other defining facial features and what I like to do is lightly put scented oil on it. You should be able to find pumpkin spice scented oil at a craft store.
Be sure to tell me about the Jack-O Lanterns that you made, and the creative touches you added to them.
