Think outside the box when crafting pumpkins. Note: this one is a fake pumpkin which lasts forever
Approximate Time: 1 hour
Supplies:
Faux pumpkin
pants patches
clock face
wooden doll hutch
brown craft paper
battery tealight
wooden circle dot
Instructions:
I decided to go outside the box and do hickory dickory dock. I took faux pumpkin and I had a clock with a removable face clock and cut hole halfway to fit the clock piece. If you don't have one, you can either buy new clock pieces at craft store or, cheaper, buy used clock at a yard sale or consignment shop. I took brown paper and cut out shape of clock leaving a space where the pendulum goes. I bought a cheap wooden balsa wood unfinished piece from Michaels for $1.00 and took it apart and used brown marker to paint it brown. Used this piece for top ornamental piece on clock and bottom part to give it a 3 dimensional effect. I bought mice patches and used 2 to add to clock. Cut out brown craft paper to make pendulum and used yellow marker on wooden circle and glued.
I cut the pumpkin to show pendulum and put a faux battery operated tea light as a real flame would melt the faux pumpkin.
