PUMPKIN
stout, roundish rock
orange tempura paint
black marker
small amount of raffia
3-4 silk leaves
tacky or hot glue
3/4" piece of green chenille stick
bits of Kleenex tissue
The texture of the rock for the pumpkin can be smooth, bumpy, or even
jagged, as was in our case. Before you begin, stand the rock up in the position
you would like it to be when your craft is complete. Ours was a little tricky, we
just leveled him off using the raffia and tissue.
Paint the rock orange and let it dry. Using a black marker, draw on
pumpkin's face. Glue silk leaves to the bottom of your pumpkin. Using bits of Kleenex
for leveling and bunches of raffia, glue rock onto "straw bed". Top off your pumpkin
rock with green chenille for the stem by folding in half and gluing on top of pumpkin's
head.
GHOST
long, slender rock
white tempura paint
black marker
handful of cotton batting
tacky or hot glue
white glitter glue |

Paint rock white and let dry. Draw face onto ghost with black marker.
Glue cotton batting to the bottom of the rock to give the appearance of a ghostly
trail following him. Smear white glitter glue down the sides of the ghost.
SPIDER oval rock
black tempura paint
pair of wiggle eyes
6-8 12"-long black chenille sticks
red glitter glue
small piece of paper plate or white paper
scissors
tacky or hot glue
Paint rock black and let dry. Wrap chenille sticks around body to
secure legs in place. Bend sticks to form legs. Glue chenille sticks in place on
the bottom of the rock. Glue on two wiggle eyes. Cut little fangs from paper plate
or paper and, using red glitter glue, glue onto rock-face, underneath wiggle eyes. use
red glitter glue to create a few drops of blood on fangs and paint around mouth to finish up.
Editor's Note: Be sure to keep these cute crafts out of the reach of
small children under the age of 3 years. Wiggle eyes can be easily removed and swallowed, or
worse yet, choked upon.
