How to make this Ninja Turtles pumpkin craft
Here are the steps for making this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles painted pumpkin craft project.
- Paint the craft pumpkins with green paint. Allow to dry, then repeat with a second coat of paint (the paint will look streaky after the first coat, but the second coat will even it out). Allow to dry completely.
- Fold a piece of felt in half diagonally longwise from the corners. While still folded, cut the felt into a strip 2.5-inches wide from the fold with scissors. Fold the cut side up about a half an inch and secure using a glue gun to make a 2-inch mask. Repeat with the remaining pieces of felt.
- Place two googly eyes in the center of each mask, with about 1.5 inches of space between the two eyes. Use a glue gun to secure the eyes to the felt.
- Wrap a mask around a pumpkin, using hot glue to secure it to the pumpkin. Repeat with the remaining masks and pumpkins.
- Using black paint, paint the Turtles’ mouths on the pumpkins below the mask. Let dry.
