Sock Pumpkin Craft



What You Need
  • Orange paint
  • Green paint
  • Black construction paper
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Paint brushes (medium size)
  • A tube sock or athletic sock
  • Stuffing for the sock (crumpled paper will work)
  • Rubber bands or green yarn/string


INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Take your crumpled up paper and stuff the foot section on the sock and tie it off where the foot and tube part meet with a rubber band or green yarn. 
  2. Paint the entire foot of the sock (the area below the tied off area) orange and allow it to dry before continuing.
  3. While waiting for the paint to dry, cut shapes for a jack-o-lantern face using the black construction paper.
  4. Paint top of sock (the remaining white part of the sock) green, this will be the pumpkins stem. Allow it to dry and trim it to the desired stem length. 
  5. Take the black paper face pieces and glue them onto the sock to create your sock jack-o-lantern.
  6. Use different size socks to create pumpkin families or your very own pumpkin patch.
