These are foam pumpkins that I carved using my Rotozip spiral saw....so quick and easy.
I didn't even draw out a pattern before I carved them, I just kind of went for it.
It worked out pretty well!
I added metal leaves that I already had but repainted and stuck them into the foam pumpkin.
I also coiled thin copper wire on the end of a pencil, removed and used that for tendrils
I bought these plain, white foam pumpkins, painted with acrylics
and sealed with spray sealer
Polka Dots
The black polka dot one is sitting on a candlestick I painted a while back.
Happy Halloween!
