Instructions for making witch pumpkins

Mold the black playdough into a long nose for the witch and glue it onto the pumpkin.

Next, add the googly eyes using glue as well if they don’t have sticky backs.

Now, use a marker to draw on a witch’s mouth, the more crooked it is the better it will look.

Cut yard for the witch’s hair and glue that onto the top of the pumpkin before putting the hat on top.

Your witch will need a broom too. Wrap small pieces of yarn around one end of the pipe cleaner, and glue it into place underneath the witch.

  1. Cute! We are probably painting a couple of small ones this year, and letting Daddy do the big one that requires carving…can’t wait to bake the pumpkin seeds…YUM! And pie, pancakes, muffins, oh my! 🙂 Love the broomsticks, too! Ever the crafty lady!
