Jack o Lantern Lamp.

Let’s get creative with some plastic dollar tree bowls and turn them into an inexpensive jack-o-lantern.

Materials:

1.) 2 Plastic Dollar Tree bowls. 2. Paper Bag
3.)Wood Burning tool.
4.) Chalk Paint- Green Fern, Truffle Brown
5.) Spray Paint- Real Orange, Sun Yellow
6.) Black permanent marker
7.) Glue gun

-Grab both bowls and line them up to creat your pumpkin form, using the permanent marker draw the face you decide( I went with the traditional Halloween Jack o lantern face.) ⬇️⬇️

-Now plug in your wood burning tool carefully cut out the eyes, nose and mouth. 🚨Warning-the wood burning tool gets very hot and make sure you use a mask as it gives off some smoke. ⬇️⬇️

-Eyes and nose have been carefully cut out.⬆️⬆️

-Next, use the Sun Yellow spray paint and spray the inside of both bowls (make sure you wear a mask.)⬇️⬇️

-Next, using the Real Orange spray paint spray the outside of both bowls (make sure you use a mask. ⬇️⬇️

-Next, line up both bowls and using your glue gun glue them together to form your pumpkin. Optional:You can use E6000 less messier ⬇️⬇️

-Lastly grab your paper bag and cut it in half horizontally, open it up and start by creating your pumpkin stem by twisting the opening end of the bag real tight and leaving the closed end a slightly loose. Use your glue gun to apply some glue to prevent the twists from undoing. Using the other half of the bag create some leafs(the leafs will be differently every time.) ⬇️⬇️

-Glue the Paper stem and leafs together, once glued slightly start paint the stem with the Fern Green and let it dry. Next, use the Truffle Brown and slightly repeat paint process. ⬇️⬇️

-Lastly glue the paper stem and leafs on the top center of the Jack o lantern, using fairy lights untangle them and insert them through the mouth opening and light them up! 🎃 Voila you have now created a unique Jack o lantern. ⬇️⬇️
