Directions

  1. Give each foam piece a couple coats of chalky finish paint. I used Relic, which is a deep charcoal color.
  2. When the paint is dry, the pumpkins and skull will have a nice matte finish.
  3. To turn the pumpkins into a candy display, all you need to do is poke some holes in the top. I used one of the tools from the foam tool kit for this, but a skewer or dowel rod should work well too. Finally, just push in the candy sticks.
  4. Next, to turn the foam skull into a vase, you will need to carve out a hole the size of your cup or vase from the top. The foam cutter works really well for this, but it may take a few minutes to carve it out completely. When your hole is the right size, just insert the cup and add water and flowers. That’s it!
