Not so Scary Whimsical Pumpkin to Do With Kids!

by Vicki Rogers

I always save these laundry detergent tab buckets for various things, but when I used the last tab the other day, I decided to turn it into a pumpkin witch. I already had everything I needed to do it and my youngest grandson loved it.

After taking off the plastic cover,I drew on a very imperfect face with a orange sharpie and filled it in with a black sharpie.

I painted the eye area a little with black paint and it removed a little of the sharpie in the eye area. I outlined the lips with red glitter paint.

I painted the sides of the lid black and decorated a small craft witch hat and glued it to the lid.

I taped battery powered lights to the inside. I think this would be a fun kids craft at a Halloween party, even without the lights.
