Paper mache Pumpkin

Last year we made this paper mache pumpkin to hang on our door! We used two shades of orange copy paper - that was donated by my friend Pam. We tore it into small pieces - which was fun to do - and then covered a plastic bowl with diluted white glue and stuck on all the little pieces. Once all the pieces covered the entire bowl we gave it another good coating of glue - to smooth down all the edges. We finished the look with a traditional jack-o-lantern face! It was fun, easy and turned out great - now we have to think of something great for this year!
I have a little something in mind! Stay tuned!
BTW it peels off the plastic bowl very easily!
