Steps

First, give your gourds and small pumpkins a great wash within the sink and ensure they’re good and clear.

As soon as they’re dry, give them two coats of craft paint.

As soon as the paint is dry, you’ll be able to add some painted polka dots by stamping the top of a pencil or a pompom in some paint.

Add a monster mouth and a few monster eyes! We glued a googly eye onto a pompom and made some eyelashes out of development paper for this one-eyed monster. We lower out a mouth with development paper and stamped the top of a paintbrush in white paint to make the monster enamel.

It lives!!

Make some arms! Reduce pipe cleaners to the specified size.

To make holes in your gourds for the pipe cleaners, begin with a push pin. Subsequent, increase the opening with a toothpick. Pierce the pipe cleaners into these holes as arms or tentacles.

You may also glue the legs to the underside of the gourd if they’re evenly spaced.

Have enjoyable including equipment like additional eyes, antennae and anything monster-rific! You might even add feathers or glitter or something that screams monster!
