pumpkin look-a-like.

What You Need:
  • Pencil
  • Tracing paper
  • Scissors
  • Stencil paper
  • Crafts knife
  • Orange enamel spray paint
  • 20-inch-diameter galvanized metal tub
  • Adhesive tape
  • Acrylic paint (black)
  • Stencil brush

1. Spray paint the outside of the tub orange.

2. Draw your own pumpkin face onto tracing paper, and then cut the face out. Transfer the features to stencil paper and cut them out with a crafts knife.
