Our deliciously tempting, hamburger shaped pumpkin is perfect for a Fall picnic table display. Or, include it among other painted pumpkins on the steps of a dollhouse front porch... |
If your dolls are anything like ours, they will love hamburgers any way they are served, even if, that means a-la-pumpkin!
Supply List:
- Styrofoam pumpkin blank
- orange foam sheet
- green tissue paper
- paper mache pulp
- scrap paper
- masking tape
- acrylic paints
- a razor blade or X-Acto knife
- white tacky glue
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- First, cut the Styrofoam pumpkin in half using the razor blade. Ask an adult for help with this. Each half will be your pumpkin shaped sesame seed buns.
- Then paint the pumpkin 'buns' pale brown to medium brown. Shade from light to dark starting with the inner half working your way to the outside centers of each bun.
- Paint on the sesame seeds using a much lighter, shade of cream. The seeds should be shaped like tiny tear drops and may be scattered anywhere on the faux bun surfaces.
- Now mix the paper mache pulp according to the directions on the package. You should not need to mix more than 1/4 cup of the pulp in order to shape a pretend ground beef patty. Layer this directly on the bottom half bun facing inside the burger. Let dry.
- Paint the faux burger brown on it's outside edges only. Let dry.
- Cut a square piece of cheddar cheese from the orange foam sheet and glue this directly on top of the fake hamburger patty.
- Cut and shape green tissue paper into ruffled lettuce shapes. Glue these to the pretend cheddar slice of cheese.
- Glue the top of the sesame seed bun on top of the lettuce.
- Shape a stem for the pumpkin using masking tape and paint this green.
