Directions
- Using a chip or foam brush, apply 1–2 coats of white craft paint to the pot of the white potted mum. Allow the paint to dry completely between coats.
- Fold one sheet of black self-adhesive craft foam in half. On the paper backing, sketch a large oval shape for the eyes; cut along the line through both layers to create two matching eye cutouts. On the remaining foam, sketch an open mouth shape and cut it out.
- Peel the paper backing from the eye cutouts and stick them near the top of the painted pot. Then attach the mouth cutout below the eyes. Place your completed mum-ster in a sheltered outdoor spot or indoors.
