Lets make a flaming pumpkin
Instructions:
1.
First thing you need to do it download and print
the pattern pieces. Now, attach pieces
of duct tape to the cutting mat.
2.
Begin with the face pieces. Use a disappearing marker to trace the
pattern piece onto the duct tape. Then
carefully cut each piece with a craft knife.
First cut out two eyes. Then cut
out one nose. Finally cut out the mouth.
3.
After you have cut out all the face pieces attach
them to the pumpkin. Immediately rub out
wrinkles out with your fingers.
Attach the duct tape flames
4.
When you have all the facial features attached
to the pumpkin, begin to cut out and attach the flames starting at the bottom
and working your way around. Since you
are applying duct tape you can peel it up and change it around if you need to.
5.
When you have gone all around the pumpkin with
the various sized flames, you can use the excess duct tape pieces to cut some ¼”wide
strips to cover around the bottom of the flames where they attach (Optional)
6.
When you put the flaming pumpkin in the dark he
will glow with an eerie greenish hue.
