Dramatic halloween window decoration


This is a quick and fun halloween project you can do with the kids.

Items needed

cardboard
pencil
orange and black paint
scissors or box cutter
yellow tissue paper
tape

First you need to get enough cardboard that will cover the entire window. Once they are sized to your window,
tape the cardboard pieces together. Next lay it on a flat surface. Now its time to draw your pumpkin face with a pencil. Once the face is drawn, use the black paint to color the eyes, eyebrows and teeth. Next color the rest of the pumpkin orange. Once the paint has dried you can cut the eyes, nose and mouth out. For the eyes, be sure to leave a small triangle at the bottom of the eye. Now tape the yellow tissue paper on back of the eyes, nose and mouth. Your pumpkin creation is done. Hang from the inside of your window. Make sure the room the window is in has lots of light so the eyes, nose and mouth will shine through the tissue. Go outside to see your spooky window decoration.
