If you are making several TerryGami washcloth Jack O' Lanterns or Pumpkins, consider doing a few different colors besides orange like rust or yellow. Perhaps they can have different color leaves and stems, too.
If you want smaller, mini pumpkins, experiment with cutting down the size of the washcloths. Cut down the cloth in the same manner as in the first step of the TerryGami Easter Egg Instructions. The rough edges won’t matter on the orange cloths, just on the cloth for the leaves. Make sure to turn over any rough edges on the leaves about ¼ inch and sew them down for a more finished look. Experiment with 10” x 10” or 8” x 8” cloths to make mini pumpkins.
The Jack O' Lantern can be made into a Boo Boo Pumpkin for the classroom, too, just like the Teacher’s Boo Boo Apple, just leave an opening at the bottom of the pumpkin for an ice cube. Perhaps mini Boo Boo Jack O' Lanterns can be made for party favors. Or for a classroom party, make bats for favor for the kids and a Boo Boo Jack O’ Lantern for the teacher. Use glittered foam board for the facial features to jazz up the project. To make the facial features for Jack O’ Lantern, just cut out a felt or foam board face and glue it to one side. Save the other side to be used for a Thanksgiving pumpkin.
Remember, if you are using thin cloths; stuff the pumpkin with strips of quit batting. Kids love to stuff things! You may want to make sure the stuffing doesn’t get out of hand. :)
Happy Crafting!
