Decorated Witch Sculpture Made from Pumpkin and Duck Tape®
Making a No-Carve Witch Pumpkin: A Step-by-Step Guide
In the spirit of Halloween, we're excited to share a simple and fun DIY project that will transform your pumpkin into a spooktacular witch. This no-carve witch pumpkin is a hit among crafting enthusiasts, and we're here to walk you through the process.
What You'll Need
- A pumpkin (purchased from a local grocery store)
- Black, white, and green Duck Tape
- Scotch Precision Scissors (available in multiple pairs in a pack)
- A Cricut Cutting Machine (a favourite crafting tool)
- Fiskars Paper Trimmer (an easy-to-use tool that cuts nicely without frayed edges)
- Vinyl backing paper (for easier cutting of green Duck Tape)
- MakerX Crafting Tools (suggested for keeping in the craft room)
Let's Get Started
- Clean the pumpkin: Give your pumpkin a bath to remove any dirt or dried mud.
- Prepare the pumpkin: The pumpkin used in the tutorial had a twisty stem, which was used to enhance the witchy look. The eyes were created by using the pumpkin's own stem – simply cut the stem into an oval shape for the larger eye and a smaller circle for the pupil.
- Create the witch hat: Two sheets of black Duck Tape were used to make the hat, following the same technique as for the hair (detailed below). Cut one sheet into a triangle with a rounded bottom and roll it into a cone. Attach the cone to a large circle for the brim.
- Make the green witch hair: Cut a strip of green Duck Tape, cut another piece shorter, and stick the two together with the sticky sides. Cut the strip into smaller strips, and attach them to the pumpkin to create the hair. For easier cutting, lay the green Duck Tape on vinyl backing paper.
- Craft the mouth: Cut an oval shape and a smaller circle from black Duck Tape for the mouth, and a circle from white Duck Tape for the teeth.
- Use the Cricut Cutting Machine and Scotch Precision Scissors to cut the Duck Tape shapes accurately. The Fiskars Paper Trimmer can also be used for a cleaner cut.
- Attach the hat, mouth, and eyes to the pumpkin to complete your no-carve witch pumpkin.
And there you have it! A spooky, no-carve witch pumpkin that's sure to impress at your Halloween gathering. Don't forget to keep your craft room stocked with MakerX Crafting Tools for future projects. Happy crafting!
