key to this one is nice, big pictures. This is a great no- carve option for your pumpkins. Get some pictures of your friends, your families. Print some out large. Print some out small, so you get different scales of noses, eyes, glasses, whatever, and then you're gonna cut out some pieces like these glasses here or eyes, noses, and, you know, mix it up. Get some big noses, small noses, big eyes, little eyes, whatever. And then, you're going to stick your pieces onto a piece of craft foam like this. I just used a glue stick for that. So let's see. I want to do an eye. Maybe this one. Gonna stick some glue on the back of it like that. Stick that on there, and then you're just gonna cut around so that all your shapes have a little bit more bodies to them. So I've got some that I cut out right here. Got some glasses and nose, some lips. So I'm just gonna use a little bit of glue dot. The nice thing about the foam and the glue dot is it gives it a nice 3-dimensional look, and if you plan to keep these outside, you could always put some contact paper over all your features, and then stick them on so that they can withstand the elements. If you don't want to carve this season, mix it up and create your own freaky family of pumpkins.

you tons of light. But if you wanna go with a more battery powered , maybe a little bit safer of an option, there's lots of great stuff out there too. There are these little battery operated votives. You put the battery here in the back. And then when you turn it on they actually have that same sort of flicker light like a candle does. And this is actually pretty cool. It looks just like a strand of Christmas lights but it's actually battery powered so you don't have all those cords. You can turn it on like this. So pick your pumpkin and then pick the

for the body of course one for the head, some stone textured spray paint like this, and some Grim Reaper accessories. So first what you're gonna do is you're gonna figure out how tall do you want your Grim Reaper to be. Probably 3 or 4 good-sized pumpkins like this are prefect for the body and then, of course, you need one for the head. So I've cut off the stems of my body since they are gonna be on top of each other, it's best to have the stems gone. And now I'm gonna spray them all with some stone texture spray paint . So when you spray paint you wanna make sure you do this in a really well ventilated area or outside 'cause the [unk] can be pretty narly. So after a few coats of spray paint , once it's dry, you should have pumpkins that look kinda like this. So now, in order for them to stack on top
