It didn't matter because we had a ball arrival up with ideas using the things we could honestly find nearby the house.

How to Make Halloween Masks and Costumes Using Printable Halloween Stencils

First, there are many stencils available for carving pumpkins. Right? Well, these are great for creating masks. How, you say? Well, let us count the ways.

Cut out a round or pumpkin shape from orange felt (stiff felt is great), orange craft foam or even paper you painted orange. If you can, don't forget to cut a miniature stem on top and dab some green paint on that. If you honestly want to be creative, paint some vertical curve lines in a darker orange to honestly give it the pumpkin look. Then take your stencil designed for pumpkin carving and use it to cut openings into the felt. You may need to make some adjustments to the size of your stencil to make sure that eye, nose and mouth holes are in the acceptable places for you to see, breath and talk. Just take the stencil to a copy engine and cut or improve it until you have the right size. Use a hole punch tool to make nice round holes on each side and attach orange or black ribbons so that you can tie it nearby your head.

Here is one of our tried and true methods of mask making. It's a miniature like the tip above. Take large paper bags (big sufficient so that you can slide it over the head). Paint the bag orange and then use a stencil for pumpkin carving to cut out the face on the front of the bag. You can find plentifulness of printable Halloween stencils on the internet. You may need to trim out some curves for the shoulders so that the bag can come down low in the front and back. Don't forget to cut out holes nearby the ears for good hearing. It's quick, easy and best of all free!

To complete a pumpkin mask costume, cut leg and arm holes in one of those jack-o-lantern leaf bags. Fill it with plastic shopping bags to fill it out and tape it nearby your shoulders once it's full.

Let me just mention another creative way to use these stencils designed for carving pumpkins. Try using the old stand-by sheet for a ghost costume and cut out the stencils in the face area. Use a miniature creativity and decorate the rest of the sheet too. Or maybe spray paint the sheet orange nearby the area that will cover the head before cutting out the pattern. To be honestly creative, after the stencil is cut into the sheet, form the holes with some black acrylic craft paint. This makes the openings stand out and also helps the edges from becoming frayed.

Halloween stencils offer an easy way to trick (or treat!) out a t-shirt. Use an old one from the closet or purchase a new one (old is preferable). If you have an orange shirt, use black fabric paint to put the image from a pumpkin carving stencil across the front of the shirt. If you have a black shirt handy then use orange or white fabric paint.

Ok. So we covered all the coarse stencils for pumpkin carving that are designed as the normal faces we're all used to. But now with the internet we have so many others to choose from. Some very talented artists have taken the whole pumpkin carving stencil art to a whole new level. You can find designs of cats, pirates, wolves, witches, demons, cartoon characters, vampires, ghouls, mummies ... Well, the list is too long to keep going. My point is that the above options for creating a mask can be used for most of these. Remember that these were designed for a round pumpkin so that to resize them for face shapes and sizes is not a far stretch and can usually be achieved.

Now let's come up with a few ideas to complete the costume for some of the masks mentioned above.

Feel like howling at the moon? A wolf mask is easy to originate with gray felt, craft foam or paint. complete the costume with a gray t-shirt and gray sweat pants.

Feel like a feline? Black cats are always favorite at Halloween. complete a cat mask with a black turtle neck shirt, black leggings and a black feather boa for a tail.

Want to be Frankie Baby? That's an easy one! Get some lime green felt, craft foam or paint. Dress up the mask with an old plaid flannel shirt, a ragged pair of jeans and a pair of work boots.

Are you a Witch? I mean for Halloween! Use black felt for the mask. You need to have an old loose fitting black dress (try a thrift store if you don't have one that you can use) and a broom.

And speaking of the many possibilities that stencils give us to decorate, here are some more creative and easy ideas. Just because Halloween stencils and patterns were designed for pumpkin carving doesn't mean that they can't be used for a large range of other Halloween crafts such as: paint them on a bag for collecting your treats; paint them on the angle of a napkin to decorate your festive table; or paint them on colored paper for decorating the windows or doors.

Taking Your Halloween Crafts to New Heights Using Stencils to Paint Pumpkins

Pretty soon the little ghosts will be arriving on your doorstep. That means it's time to get all those Halloween Crafts started too. Decorating pumpkins for Halloween is a longtime tradition. However, new years have brought about some inviting changes to the tradition. Folks are becoming much more creative and putting an artistic touch to their designs. Instead of just the primary carving of a pumpkin, now population are painting pumpkins.

I want to share with you some ideas and how to facts for painting jack o lantern stencils onto a pumpkin. Decorating your pumpkin with paint is much less messy and safer when getting the kids involved. Not to mention that you can be a lot more creative with paint and using a Halloween stencil makes the job much easier.

Halloween Decorations

Don't just limit these instructions to the pumpkins you pick up at the farmer's store either. I use this technique on gourds, too. Also, I found some plastic pumpkins at my local craft and decorating provide house. These are great because I can pack them away and they'll be good for next year.

Taking Your Halloween Crafts to New Heights Using Stencils to Paint Pumpkins

There are many printable Halloween stencils ready on the web. But first, match your pumpkin and your stencil design. If you already have a pumpkin that is tall and thin, find a pattern that will fill in the height and not curve too far around the sides. If you have chosen a pattern that is short and wide, look for a pumpkin that is squat and round. You want your image to be clearly descriptive from one direction. Also, try to find a pumpkin that has a flat side for your pattern to fit snugly against. This will make it easier to change your pattern.

If the Halloween stencil is not the right size for your pumpkin, you can always cut or expand the image on a copy machine. Just hold the invent in front of the pumpkin and eye it in. It's best not to have a invent that rolls too far over the top or bottom of your pumpkin. Remember, you want to see the entire invent from one direction.

Ok! You've got your pattern and it's the right size. Now, you'll have to cut your pattern so that you can apply paint. Using a craft-knife cut out the openings on the stencil. Make sure your blade is sharp at all times. Dull blades may cause the paper stencil to tear. The goal is to cut along each line only once with a firm, flat motion. With your free hand, hold the stencil firmly and rotate the stencil so that you are always cutting with your arm and wrist at a comfortable angle. When cutting past a thin bridge area determined use a finger to hold down the paper.

Now it's time to tape the stencil to the pumpkin and apply paint. That's much easier said than done because you have a flat quadrate page that needs to be secured to a round object. Here's what I do. Line up your stencil so that the center of the invent is even with the center of the pumpkin and put tape on each side. Then if you can, place other piece of tape at the top and the bottom. As you apply paint, you will need to use a finger to pull down the corners so that it flattens against the pumpkin.

Pour paint onto your palette (a paper plate can be used). Dip your brush in the paint and work into the bristles by slowly rotating to make sure all sides are loaded with color. Then dab the brush several times on a paper towel or piece of paper to get out any excess paint. It's leading to have a brush that is on the dry side because it will keep paint from seeping under the stencil and smearing or running. This will most likely happen to some degree anyway so be prepared to do some touching up.

More color is achieved by repeated coverage, not by using more paint. When your brush is properly loaded, an even powdering of paint is left when blotted on a paper towel or paper. Apply the paint using a downward, or dabbing, petition over the edges of the stencil openings so as not to push paint under the stencil. If you use a back and forth brushing motion, the brush will push paint under the stencil and cause smearing. other reckon you do not want to use a brushing or back and forth stroke is because it may tend to curl or bend your paper stencil. Apply paint with this dabbing and blotting petition in all the cut out areas of your stencil.

It's best to wait a concentrate of minutes before removing the stencil once you've concluded painting. The idea is to be able to get the paper away from the covering without smudging the paint. So, if you let the paint dry just a little it will be less likely to smear. On the other hand, if the stencil remains in place for the paint to thoroughly dry, some of the paper along the edges will stick to the pumpkin. When removing the stencil, hold down on one side and roll it away. This is the best way to keep the stencil from dragging across any wet paint.

Touch up any jagged lines with a thin paint brush. You will most likely also need to fill in the crevice areas of the pumpkin that didn't receive paint. For paint in areas where it shouldn't be, you can use a wet cloth or paper towel to wipe it away.

Wait! Don't put away the paint brush and paints. This is the part where you can get very creative. Since you are working with paint, there is no reckon you can't do a second color or even a few colors. Here are a few tips and hints to make your pumpkins as a matter of fact stand out.

Once you have completed a layer of black paint on your stencil, reattach the stencil just above the black areas and repaint with yellow. This creates a shadow effect.

But don't be shy with the colors. Using reds, blues and greens can make your faces or scenes as a matter of fact stand out. You have the stencil to guide you in getting an image onto your pumpkin so now stretch your creativity and make it unique.

There are so many ways to have fun with Halloween crafts and Halloween stencils! I often think that manufacture the decorations is the best part of any opportunity and Halloween is no exception. I hope you get the most of the projects found on this page and originate some funky or scary art. Happy Stenciling!

Remember that these were designed for a round pumpkin so that to resize them for face shapes and sizes is not a far stretch and can commonly be achieved.

Now let's come up with a few ideas to unblemished the costume for some of the masks mentioned above.

Feel like howling at the moon? A wolf mask is easy to create with gray felt, craft foam or paint. unblemished the costume with a gray t-shirt and gray sweat pants.

Feel like a feline? Black cats are all the time popular at Halloween. unblemished a cat mask with a black turtle neck shirt, black leggings and a black feather boa for a tail.

Want to be Frankie Baby? That's an easy one! Get some lime green felt, craft foam or paint. Dress up the mask with an old plaid flannel shirt, a ragged pair of jeans and a pair of work boots.

Are you a Witch? I mean for Halloween! Use black felt for the mask. You need to have an old loose fitting black dress (try a thrift store if you don't have one that you can use) and a broom.

And speaking of the many possibilities that stencils give us to decorate, here are some more creative and easy ideas. Just because Halloween stencils and patterns were designed for pumpkin carving doesn't mean that they can't be used for a large range of other Halloween crafts such as: paint them on a bag for collecting your treats; paint them on the projection of a napkin to decorate your festive table; or paint them on colored paper for decorating the windows or doors. There are many other ways to use these breathtaking designs to embellish your holiday decorations.

First, there are many stencils ready for carving pumpkins. Right? Well, these are great for creating masks. How, you say? Well, let us count the ways.

Cut out a round or pumpkin shape from orange felt (stiff felt is great), orange craft foam or even paper you painted orange. If you can, don't forget to cut a slight stem on top and dab some green paint on that. If you for real want to be creative, paint some vertical curve lines in a darker orange to for real give it the pumpkin look. Then take your stencil designed for pumpkin carving and use it to cut openings into the felt. You may need to make some adjustments to the size of your stencil to make sure that eye, nose and mouth holes are in the standard places for you to see, breath and talk. Just take the stencil to a copy engine and reduce or strengthen it until you have the right size. Use a hole punch tool to make nice round holes on each side and attach orange or black ribbons so that you can tie it nearby your head.

Here is one of our tried and true methods of mask making. It's a slight like the tip above. Take large paper bags (big adequate so that you can slide it over the head).

You may need to trim out some curves for the shoulders so that the bag can come down low in the front and back. Don't forget to cut out holes nearby the ears for good hearing. It's quick, easy and best of all free!

To complete a pumpkin mask costume, cut leg and arm holes in one of those jack-o-lantern leaf bags. Fill it with plastic shopping bags to fill it out and tape it nearby your shoulders once it's full.

Let me just mention another creative way to use these stencils designed for carving pumpkins. Try using the old stand-by sheet for a ghost costume and cut out the stencils in the face area. Use a slight creativity and decorate the rest of the sheet too. Or maybe spray paint the sheet orange nearby the area that will cover the head before cutting out the pattern. To be for real creative, after the stencil is cut into the sheet, figure the holes with some black acrylic craft paint. This makes the openings stand out and also helps the edges from becoming frayed.

Halloween stencils offer an easy way to trick (or treat!) out a t-shirt. Use an old one from the closet or purchase a new one (old is preferable). If you have an orange shirt, use black fabric paint to put the image from a pumpkin carving stencil over the front of the shirt. If you have a black shirt handy then use orange or white fabric paint.
