I second the clear plastic bowl from the dollar tree. That's what I did. Turned out great!

[michellerichmond-saravia]

I love it and I used an upside down garbage can and a lantern with Xmas lights inside of the pumpkin head that were tangled up LOL and extension cord, and plugged in. Great idea!! I used an old sheet.

Try using the long bamboo skewers from dollar tree.. a bowl instead of a Styrofoam ball. Great ideas on how to keep the costs down!

Thanks for the tip on the white tablecloths. I'm heading to Dollarama today. However, instead of foam balls, just use a soccer or basketball, or even a plastic bowl.

So cute! And yours is a much better deal for something that you only use 1 time of the year for maybe a month Thanks for sharing yours <3

I have been down the styrofoam ball shopping before! Insane your video is great! Terrible how other videos don’t mention the cost!

Sticker price on EVERYTHING is ridiculous 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ This turned out INCREDIBLY 👍🏼🌹thanks for sharing 🙏 the shadowing makes him look like his wearing a hat 👍🏼👍🏼

What about putting the tomato cage upside right and fitting a clear plastic bowl in the top circle???

[colemyst]

I'm wondering if a clear plastic bowl would work for the top? If you can find one on the cheap. The brim might have to be played with - melted or cut off depending of the bowl.

Funny when I saw the price of the foam ball, I immediately thought nope, use paper mache. Glad I waited to comment, lol.

[debbiecooper]

I never thought of the paper maca for the head. thats one reason I hadnt made one . I am not spending that much on the form ball.

[Renvega]

You should have used a pumpkin candy basket for the head. Cheap and you don't need to do much

[TimetravelerMN]

I used tomato cages and made witches with bags. Then the following year I made a fire 🔥 pit. It turned out amazing! The fire pit looked realistic.

I'm making this but I'm using a dollar tree foam skull already picked it up.

[phoenixxstar]

I bought the two foam balls on Amazon, sweater pumpkins at Dollar tree, felt dollar tree, tons of tomato cages at Lowe's. And I also bought those big dome cloches at dollar tree to make the head a bit bigger I'm keeping them in my house so i bought Sherpa fleece blankets for both of them too.

Has anyone attempted beach ball or using balloon with the balloon stake adapter?

[makeeverythingsparkle]

I went to Walmart and they had so many tomato cages. I bought mine one for 1.50. They had green ones for $2.50 I also bought fabric from the fabric section that was $2.17 a yard. I used my 40% coupon from joanns and got a foam ball.

[pinkie]

It looks like it has a cute hair cut though. 🙂

[fragrancefreesoapery]

next time try using a white nylon sieve with the handle cut off, or stiffen a round of mosquito net or cheesecloth with a sugar or glue solution (if you have ants) and set it over a beach ball to get a see through head :)
