Craft a cat from a pumpkin
First, you need to get your vegetables ready for use. Those pumpkins that will be used to create the tail, body and legs should be thoroughly washed and wiped off the remaining moisture.
Preparing the pumpkin for the muzzle. It must also be rinsed well and cut off the very top. Remove the inner flesh.
Making eyes. First you need to apply marks on the pumpkin for the head with a black felt-tip pen or a simple pencil. Then carefully cut out eyes on them..
Making the ears. You can cut ears for our kitty from felt, or you can also from cardboard.
We make holes for the ears. In the pumpkin, which will play the role of a head, you need to make cuts along the edges from the bottom, which will resemble the shape of a crescent. This must be done carefully so that the holes turn out to be thin, so that the finished ears do not stagger in them but hold well.
We paint all the pumpkins. We need to paint all our pumpkins black. Before painting a cat’s head, it’s tedious to put newspapers in there so that the paint does not get inside the pumpkin through the cuts..
Putting all the pieces of the cat together. After the paint is dry, you can start assembling. If the parts do not want to be attached to each other normally, it is worth resorting to floristic wire..
It needs to be stuck into the upper part of the cat’s body. Put a candle in the center of the upper part. Then it is required to install the ears into the already prepared connectors in the blank for the head, and, in the end, put the head on the upper part of the body. This will not be difficult, since there is already a wire on the upper part of the body, on which the head needs to be planted.
The black cat is ready! You can paint this craft in any other color, as well as make a whole family of cats. In order for the pumpkin craft to preserve for a long time, before you start decorating the pumpkin, you will have to completely clean the middle and dry it well for several weeks. Making animals from vegetables and fruits is very interesting, so do not be afraid to fantasize.
