Pierrot Clown Pumpkin

Welcome to Day 18 of 31 Days of Halloween Crafts! Today we’ll be turning a pumpkin into an adorable Pierrot clown.

Materials:

- pumpkin

- felt

- pompoms

- pipe cleaners

- needle and thread

- acrylic paint

First, let’s paint the faces onto our pumpkin.

I’m sticking to a simple black and white theme with a sad face on one side and a happy face on the other.

Next, let’s give him a little hat. With the black felt, roll a corner into a cone shape and cut it off with a slight curve. Glue one side and roll it into a cone again.

Indent the tip so the hat isn’t so pointy.

Glue on some pom poms and attach a wreath of pipe  cleaners for the base.

Glue the hat on the pumpkin.

Let’s give him a collar now. Cut two strips of white felt and paint a black border along one edge.

Glue them together into one long strip

Sew a basting stitch along the side that isn’t painted, gathering it into a circle.

Knot the thread and glue the two sides together to complete the ruff.

Place your pumpkin on top.
