Last year, knowing how much I love
crafts, my mother-in-law bought me a copy of the Penny Whistle Halloween book.
It's filled with all sorts of cute and quaint kid-friendly ideas for costumes,
recipes, crafts, and pumpkin carving. When I saw the "carve Cinderella's
coach", I knew I had to do it.
H had just started to get into these little plastic Disney Princess that can
usually be found at the checkout aisle at Target. They have plastic (and
seemingly indestructible) dresses that can be torn off and pulled back on by
little toddler fingers. I knew our little Cinderella one would be perfect for
this project. Since this was such a big hit with H last year I decided it
should be a yearly tradition - and this year was even more fun because she was
able to be more involved in the creation.
You'll need:
- a small to medium sized pumpkin
- a knife for carving
- ribbon
- silk flowers
- a hot glue gun
- optional: glitter glue, green paint, 2 plastic horses, a Cinderella doll, 4 mini pumpkins, battery tea light
Step 1:
Cut out the top of the pumpkin
around the stem and remove the seeds
Optional Step 2:
I had found a bottle of orange glitter
glue in the dollar section of Target and thought it might add a little magic to
our pumpkin, so I had H paint it all over the pumpkin. While she was working on
that I painted the stem green to make it pop a little more
Step 3:
Step 4:
Add ribbons and flowers with the hot
glue – you can be as creative as you want to be with this!
Step 5:
The book suggests that you cut out
some wheels from paper and glue them on. I think that mini pumpkins are much
cuter!
I used a piece of cardboard from a
moving box and some contact paper to put the pumpkin onto and the glued the
mini pumpkin “wheels” around it to keep them in place. I hitched a couple of
Hannah’s plastic horses with some ribbon and tucked the princess and a battery-operated
tea light into the pumpkin and she was ready to go!
This is amazing!!! Wish I hadn't carved my pumpkin before reading this...now I know what to do with all those little pumpkins my daughter kept making me buy :)
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I'm definitely going to have to bookmark this for next year! Love it love it love it!
