Paper Mache Halloween Pumpkins

"These spooky Halloween Pumpkins started as plain kraft brown paper mache pumpkins from the craft store. They were transformed using orange, cream, and gold acrylic paint. Cricut bats and a jack-o-lantern face were added to make these a fun addition to your Halloween decorations. Add a wooden backdrop with black gauze, glitter spiders, bats, and black ribbon to make a creepy vignette perfect for this creepy holiday. When Halloween is over, turn the pumpkins around, and you have classy fall pumpkins for fall and Thanksgiving."
