My son's school recently held its annual Fall Festival and we were all ask to decorate pumpkins. After creating a pumpkin the students were ask to bring them in to be used at the school during the festival. One of the requests from the school was no cutting on your pumpkin to help preserve them. So thanks to Family Fun magazine we came up with this creation! First: Take old magazines and cut out facial parts. We then glued the parts to construction paper and trimmed around those. And then we got out the trusty ole' hot glue gun and glued the parts to the pumpkin. Next, I cut a hole in an old dress-up wig of my daughter's and put it over the stem. As you can see we went one step more and decorated a gourd as well and hot glued it to the top of the pumpkin! We had sooooooo much fun as a family creating our "two-headed friend."
