DIY wearable Jack O Lantern/ Halloween Decor 🎃 Spooky Season / More Details on description box

Yeah! I made these beautiful Jack o lanterns last year, and I still have them on my living room all year long as decoration. I went to Salem MA wearing them on Halloween 2021 and I had a blast. Everyone was taking pictures of me and my partner. They will last (and you will have fun) if you make them with commitment and if you follow these tips I’m gonna tell you :

-🎃Pick a balloon a big bigger than your head, so it can fit and you can wear it (is you are gonna wear it)

🎃-Add a lot of layers of paper, glue and water. (This is the mix I use, but you can use flour if you want)
Ok, back to the layers… so, when I say add lot of layers, I mean more that 5 layers and let them dry in between. The more layers the sturdier and durable will be.
Add a layer, let it dry for a few hours with a fan, or over night, then add another and let it dry and so on. When you pop that balloon, the paper it’s supposed to hold the shape with no problem.

🎃-Cut the eyes, mouth and nose with a very sharp xacto knife. (Be careful)

🎃-Paint and seal at the end. I did used Spray Modge Podge.

📣🎃THE STEM🎃📣
I FORGOT TO ADD THAT PART to the video, but I got you.

Grab some aluminun foil paper and shape it as a stem. Then wrap it with masking tape. Then , use Paper, glue and water and do the same thing we did with the pumpkin head. Layer that steam with that. But Maybe less layers. I thing one or twi are enough .
Then, once dry, paint it and glue it with hot glue at the top. And thats it. Easy!

You can add your own personal details to it.
I made this one very simple, it was for a very specific something, but you can go wild with the design and colors, variations etc.

FORGOT TO MENTION ... EVERYONE... FOR THE STEM - I took a brown grocery bag/added glue & water to a bowl with bag/let it soak 5 minutes/once out wrap bottom around 3-4 fingers/about midway upstart twisting to a point/swirl point around & around " WA-LA !! SOOOO MUCH EASIER & MORE REALISTIC (&I dont paint mine but add some black on edges with small sponge piece. Your welcome my spooky darlings... cackle, cackle 🧙

To make it even more stable for outside decorations, cover it in Monster mud, which is a combination of latex paint and spackle.

Not paying $119.00 for a Jack head for my costume. This vid is perfect. Ty

[AnneIglesias]

Oh my God, I found you just in time. I was about to purchase one and then I saw this and realized I have a giant balloon at home from a leftover birthday party I can do this with. You have saved me and my costume.

😲 omg that pumpkin head looks amazing 👏😍 good job.

[LittleWitch]

My grandfather used to make masks like that so awesome

[Bellllllz]

This is wildly a better idea than wearing an actual pumpkin on your head for a night.

[patriciaschiro]

I did this one year but used an actual pumpkin as the base to get the shape and it was so much fun. My son still has it and we use it as a decoration.

[KellyJean-gjfu]

THANK THE LORD - A NEW VIDEO DIFFERENT THEN EVERY VIDEO GOING ON NOW....Of course I'm doing it- sans spray painter. And the swirl of orange smoke- FREAKEN FABULOUS DARLING !!!!

[RaeCarson]

This is fantastic. THANK YOU for posting!! I've always wanted to make a Jack Skellington cosplay and Headless Horseman cosplay. This fits the bill for both! I can't believe I never thought of it.😂

[MoldyCheeseEditz]

This is gonna help me with my jack in the box cosplay!

[moladhdodhia]

You did a really great job on this, paint job is perfect.

Wrapping string arounnd the paper mache could get more pumpkin shape

Great idea! Papier-mâché is awesome - bigger size is dependent on balloon.

[Hankerson-ih]

Omg thx so much, This is so cool <3 I would totally do this for halloween <3 <3

[normasanbar]

En la alacena siempre hay harina. Disuelve dos cucharadas en un poco de agua, mientras pon a calentar dos tazas de agua, una vez disuelta agrega al agua caliente, y a fuego bajo mueve tres minutos y tendrás el mejor engrudo. Super resistente y económico. Gracias por compartir tu trabajo ❤❤❤

I did these in school as a project once

This is why I love YouTube because Halloween still looks and feels like Halloween, while in tiktok is just white and beiges all around...
