Glittery Halloween Pumpkins


Last Sunday was our family craft day.  Since we hadn’t had one in awhile, we were definitely overdue.   I saw a version of this project while surfing the web last month and thought it would make a good craft day project.



There are a few different versions of this dryer vent pumpkin out there, some call for the plastic vent, but for the most part the assembly is the same.   After it’s painted, add your own simple touches to make it unique.

Materials needed:
Orange spray paint
Sparkly Mod Podge
Metal dryer vent
Glue
Tie wraps (optional)
Cinnamon sticks
Leaves
Raffia
Ribbon of your choice

Cut a 24” length of the metal dryer vent.  Secure ends together with glue or tie wraps.  

 With orange spray paint, cover the entire surface.

Apply a coat of Sparkly Mod Podge to outer layer for glittery effect.

Glue cinnamon sticks to the center as the pumpkin stem. Attach a few leaves. Tie ribbon and raffia around the stem.


I have a few Halloween projects that I’m either trying to finish up or just get posted, so I hope you’ll check back.

  2. Yep, she's a goofball. She passed the camera to Hayleigh, told her to take a picture of her and then put those googly-eyes on her face.
