The Paranoid Man Pumpkin Craft
Here we are halfway into fall and I have not shown you any pumpkin crafts….
Here we are halfway into fall and I have not shown you any pumpkin crafts. Well what kind of fall lover would I be, if I haven’t done a pumpkin craft?
So here it is. My pumpkin. My pride and joy, although it does have a few dents.
And you say “so what, we’ve seen already seen this in your DIY easy Fall eucalyptus vignette”.
Yes, you have. But you haven’t seen my paranoid man pumpkin craft.
But let’s start at the beginning. I have had this bowl sitting in my… no, not the basement. This time it’s the kitchen cabinet. The only problem was that it had a burn in one spot and all the liquids seeped out. So it was pretty useless.
Of course, I kept it around with the intent of repurposing it.
I took a book that I had read years ago and mod podged the bowl with the pages. And in case you’re wondering the book is called “A Man.”
This is a ribbon spool. I placed that inside the bowl…
…and placed my pumpkin inside the bowl, added a fedora and called it a day!
Oh, and let’s not forget his eyes!
The poor pumpkin man looked to his right and there were more pumpkins….
And to his left was another pumpkin… too much competition!
And that evil faced bottle. We’ve seen that before too! Why it’s positively glowering at the pumpkin man.
Pumpkins made with old scarves and stuffed with toilet paper and tissue paper … everyone knows that old trick!
Pumpkins made with fabric scraps, driftwood and dried eucalyptus leaves.
The pumpkin man was not at all happy about this situation. He wanted to be the center of attention!
Would a change of attire help to distinguish him?
Or would he still be outshined by those sassy pumpkins next to him?

Or those dried out leaves which looked like they had turned into leather?
Ohhh, this idea with the black hat was not working!
I guess our paranoid pumpkin man is destined to be squished among the rubble pumpkins.
And so we leave him miserable and all squished, till we can find the paranoid pumpkin man craft another hat that will outshine them all! Which hat do you prefer on the paranoid man pumpkin?

I love your little pumpkin man – that is the perfect project for the stressed out Mom who needs to decorate a pumpkin and has run out of time! I also love the hat, because the squirrels have feasted on my pumpkins, chewing mostly up around the stem. ARGH! Now I’m thinking I’ll got pop a hat on top of them. (visiting from Brag About It!)
Seana you are absolutely right it is an easy project with loads of charm. In fact my pumpkin man has become a celebrity of sorts.
He is so cute the paranoid man!! I prefer the black hat he looks more like Mr Sherlock 😀 Your pumpkins look so beautiful !!
Oh, my goodness. How cute! Thank you so much for taking the time and sharing on my blog. My kids would so love to make this next year!
This is so clever! I’m still giggling!
Thanks Sarah I had so much fun doing this series!

Pumpkin Man rises again! I like the black hat better. Like what you did with the bowl! Don’t tell me Pumpkin Man really lived another year???
Florence I got him early October and up until last week when we left he was still going strong!
He is both adorable and hilarious at the same time. Thanks for sharing such a funny post with us at #HomeMattersParty
Donna thanks so much. We have all grown very attached to him.

Mary, I should have known when I saw the thumbnail photo of the pumpkin man that it was you. So clever, and so amusing. I’m gonna steal this idea. Thanks for sharing it.
I hope you do steal it Heidi, I was able to kill 2 birds with one stone here. And now the poor guy has become a legend. Haha!!
This is SUCH an ingenious craft! And the pumpkins are gorgeous as well. Your vignette is quite happy and whimsical, just right for bringing a smile:) Thanks for sharing at Vintage Charm!

Thank you Kathleen, the pumpkin actually lasted a whole year, can you believe it?
I like the black hat on Pumpkin Man. It makes him look mysterious! Great job, and thanks for sharing on Sunday’s Best.
Thank you Rhonda, I do too, he looks like a spy!
He is just fantastic, so much fun.
Thanks Julie, this series was so much fun to do.
Now that is funny! I’d like to see a whole pumpkin patch with hats and faces drawn on. Anyone have a friend with a pumpkin patch that can take joke for a funny photo?! Thanks for the laugh!
Ha that is a great idea
Oh my gosh, so very cute!!! I love pumpkins and this is so great. Thanks for sharing on To Grandma’s House We Go!
Super cute display. I have to pin this one!!! Happy Fall, Kippi
I like the dark hat as it seems to be a more Halloween color combo! If I did one, I’d use a washable marker; his paranoia could be so bad, he could completely disappear!
