If your Halloween decorating sensibilities run a little on the “Nightmare Before Christmas” end of things, then you’re going to fall in love with this project! Using mini pumpkin buckets that she found in 6-packs at the dollar store, Gail from That Artist Woman papier mached up some funky, far less traditional little Jack-o-lanterns. She also has more projects planned using the same plastic pumpkins, so if you pick up a bunch of them next time you’re out shopping, make sure you bookmark her blog for additional ideas!

These are too cute! I’d like to post on our Facebook page. Also, we have several different types of papier mache material. If you’d like to try one and post about it let me know and I’ll send you some samples. Thanks!
