Halloween Crafts - Create a Scene Inside a Pumpkin

 

Have you seen the Easter Eggs that have an oval cut out and a scene is placed inside?  I was wondering what that would look like with a pumpkin and Halloween scenery instead.  So I tried it!

Using an X-acto knife carefully cut a oval shaped hole in the front of the pumpkin.

Gather up your scenery.  In this case I used a whole slew of dimensional stickers from K&Company.  You could use lots of different things though.  A paper mache’ house, Halloween decorations, doll house miniatures etc.

In order to get the stickers to stand up I stuck them to wooden dowels or toothpicks depending on the size of the sticker.  The stickers I used are pretty strong but they could be reinforced with glue if you want.

 

Glue a small  block of foam into the bottom of the pumpkin and cover with spanish moss.  Then just stick your stickers to the inside of the pumpkin and down into the foam (using the dowels or toothpicks).

I think it might also add a little something to paint the inside of the pumpkin with Glow in the Dark paint before you put the scenery in. You could also cut a little hole in the back and thread a small string of lights through it.  Sooo many options.
