A few colorful brush strokes turn your child's face into a striking jack-o'-lantern.
| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Face paints
Sponge Floral wire Pipe cleaners Green tissue paper White glue Green ribbon | |
| Seasons: Halloween | |
| Materials: paints, pipe cleaners, ribbon, wire | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. | Begin by brushing your child's hair back from her face and arranging it in a ponytail or bun on top of her head. |
| 2. | Next, use a damp sponge to cover her eyebrows with white face paint. |
| 3. | Once that dries, use a makeup brush and yellow face paint to create triangular eyes, a nose, and a toothy jack-o'-lantern smile over her lips. |
| 4. | Now sponge orange face paint onto her entire face, surrounding the yellow features. |
| 5. | After the orange paint dries, use a makeup brush to outline her yellow eyes, nose and mouth with green face paint. |
| 6. | Top off your child's disguise with handmade pumpkin leaves and vines. For each leaf, twist short pieces of floral wire around the top of a pipe cleaner. |
| 7. | Next, cut two large matching leaf shapes from green tissue paper. Lightly paint the surface of one leaf with a white glue solution (3 parts glue, 1 part water), lay the floral-wire frame on the glued surface and then cover with the matching leaf. Wind the stems of the finished leaves around your child's ponytail. |
| 8. | For pumpkin vines, just tie on lengths of curled green gift ribbon. |
