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!  [how to make crazy papier mache pumpkins]

Project estimate:

  • Small plastic pumpkins, $1
  • Papier mache, on hand
  • Paint, on hand
