Instructions
Step 1
Paint faces on the pumpkins with hobby brushes.
Step 2
Add fun accessories to the painted pumpkins -- such as earrings made out of rubber slip joint washers, a wig made out of caulking rod, and a necklace made by stringing disposable earplugs (found in the hardware department) together with a needle and thread.
Step 3
If you like, remove the pumpkin stems and stack the pumpkins on top of one another. Drill holes in the tops and bottoms of the pumpkins, cut a dowel to size, and insert the dowel between the pumpkins for stability.
