Start by tearing your book pages into strips and coat the pumpkin and the strips with watered down white glue.
pumpk2 Smooth any air bubbles and wrinkles (you don't want) out with your finger. Allow the pumpkin to dry. pumpk3 Using the inks add highlights and color using the punchinella as a stencil.
pumpk4
Add your stickers where you desire and burnish well with the cap of a pen.
pumpk5
Add 3 or more coats of the white glue allowing each coat to dry in-between.

Once your pumpkin is dry seal it with PYM II to keep it from getting sticky from the glue.


Check out your Dollar Storeand see what you
can find to alter and enhance with your creativity!
