Directions
- Set the larger pumpkin aside and lay the smaller pumpkin on its side. Trace around the outside of the plastic vampire teeth with a marker near the center of the small faux pumpkin. Cut along your marker line with the pumpkin carving knife to create a place for the plastic vampire teeth. Remove the excess piece and turn the bottom of the pumpkin towards you for cutting. Insert the pumpkin carving knife into the bottom of the small faux pumpkin and cut about a 3 inch circle. Tip: This will not have to be a perfect circle. The circle just needs to be wide enough for the larger pumpkin top to go inside the smaller pumpkin bottom and be secured with hot glue.
- Place both faux pumpkins right side up on the cloth. Spray paint both pumpkins completely and allow them to dry.
- Lay out two sheets of 9x12 black foam sheets together. Draw an outline of the wings and ears for the bat pumpkins. Use your scissors to cut along the outline of the wings and ears from the black foam. While the glue is still wet make sure to pour a significant amount of glitter to fully cover the surface. Let dry and then carefully shake off the excess glitter.
