Pumpkin People

The idea is the same for all of the Pumpkin People. You will need a long pole wood or steel (broom handle). Use the pole to stack the pumpkins together on top of each other to hold them together. It is a good idea to push the end of the rod right into the ground through your pumpkins to prevent it from toppling over. To stack pumpkins, cut a 1 inch hole in each pumpkin except the top, slide the pumpkins onto the pole with the largest on the bottom.

Pumpkin Snowman:

This Pumpkin snowman was made by placing 3 varying sized pumpkins together on top of each other like the photo on the right. Hollow out and carve a face in the top smallest pumpkin that will be thee head. Use twigs for arms and a bucket for a hat or make a paper hat. You can light the head and body of the pumpkin person with a candle for night time. It looks impressive at night with the lights, and in daytime too. Battery operated lights are safest.

Pumpkin Snow Woman:

This Pumpkin snow woman was made by placing 2 pumpkins together on top of each other like the photo on the right. Hollow out and carve a face in the smallest pumpkin for the head. Use twigs for arms and a old straw hat with a scarf. You can light the head and body of the pumpkin person with a candle for night time. Battery operated lights are safest.

Pumpkin Skeleton:

This Skeleton was made by placing 3 pumpkins together on top of each other like the photo on the right. You may want to practice drawing on paper and than transfer the pattern to the pumpkins. Hollow out and carve a face in the pumpkin that will be the head than do the 2 body pumpkins. It looks very impressive at night when it is lit and in daytime too. Battery operated lights are safest.

Celestial Pumpkin:

This design was made by placing 3 pumpkins together on top of each other like the photo on the right. It was placed in a large planter. It is a beautiful creation. The elaborate design was decorated by cutting round holes in the 3 pumpkins. It looks like a Planetarium at night with the lights, I bet you could make your own design? Battery operated lights are safest.
