You may need beads and cloth. To invent funny scenery is always interesting and entertaining.

Preparing pumpkin for work

Before the creation, the vegetables need to be processed competently. For the basis, a decorative pumpkin is chosen , and not an ordinary gourd . If you do not make a preliminary preparation, the pumpkin will lose its attractive appearance. It can even just rot.

The vegetable should be well washed and dried. The top is cut so as to reach the flesh. It can be pulled out by the most ordinary spoon. The flesh must be removed completely. Otherwise, the fruit will begin to mold. Remains from the walls are removed with large sandpaper. Put the peeled pumpkin in a well-ventilated place, stuffing it with an old newspaper. The paper filling changes until it ceases to absorb moisture. Pumpkin preparation will take several months. Therefore, it is necessary to approach this issue in advance. Only in this way will you get a quality pumpkin house. Handicraft will serve you for a long time.

Camper

Look at the presented photo. This pumpkin house is made using patissons. They should also be prepared and dried. Of course, if the construction should last only a few weeks, it is not necessarily tedious to cook vegetables.

Windows and doors are cut with a knife. Before you start working with a sharp object, put an approximate outline of future windows. For a door handle a bud of a carnation is used. Each hostess in the seasonings has a bag of these spices. Wheels are attached from two sides, you can use wooden skewers. The most difficult thing is to choose the same size patissons. Only in this way will they look harmonious in the overall composition.

Cut out unusual locks

Pumpkin house can be quite any. There is no ideal house or structure. It all depends on your endless imagination. Imagine your pumpkin castle and start your work safely. It is not necessary to build windows and doors. You can simply cut out the desired house (its outline) on one side of the vegetable.

You can, for example, cut out fairy-tale huts. Of course, in order to create such a masterpiece, you must have patience. Before you start, draw an approximate sketch. You need to put a candle in the center of the vegetable. As soon as twilight descends to the ground, boldly light the wick and enjoy the unusual play of light.

Lovely house for a gnome

This craft can be done by the whole family. Let everyone create their masterpiece, arrange a competition and put their pumpkins on the windowsill.

If you work in a kindergarten, then use this idea to take the kids. For example, create a home from the fairy tale "Cipollino" - the house of the Pumpkin. Kindergarten is a great place for creativity, but you should bring vegetables, already with holes. Give each child an orange blank and start collective creativity. Of course, in the book the Pumpkin's house was built of bricks, but you can dream up and create it from such unusual vegetable material.

Babies will need to give out a variety of decor items. For this purpose bright markers, colored or self-adhesive paper, pieces of fabric and colored beads will perfectly suit. With their help, blanks will turn into real masterpieces. Such crafts will decorate any house.

As decorative elements we use cones and moss. These materials must be prepared in advance. Walk with your wards in the park area and dry the gifts of nature. If you place a candle in the center of the vegetable, then the light will be visible in the windows. Like in the house there live lovely dwarfs. By the way, you can use the characteristic figures to create a complete composition.

House for mice

Gnomes are, of course, lovely creatures. But a pumpkin house can be for mice. In order to decorate the table or window sill with such a composition, it is necessary to make holes for the door and window. As a door, a wicket gate is used. Just tie a couple of twigs of the appropriate size. On the windows, install improvised grilles. Mice can be bought at a toy store or sewed on their own. The second option is welcome, since in this case your residents will be different in originality.

The product can be decorated with curtains and stairs. Show your imagination and transform the orange vegetable into a real masterpiece, which you can decorate the interior.

Other small houses from vegetables

Pumpkin house with their own hands can be performed with the use of felt. Simply cut out the necessary details and glue to the peel. You will only need to make holes, simulating windows. Near each window plant a hero. The handicraft will immediately become more lively. Use a multi-colored fabric to make the craft bright and juicy.

The simplest option is the use of acrylic paints. Just draw your house on a pumpkin. He, too, will look peculiar and unrepeatable. In this version, only black paint was used. But, nevertheless, the article looks interesting and atmospheric. Only by experimenting, you get interesting orange houses from the most ordinary pumpkin.
