What you'll need:

  • 1 medium pumpkin
  • 1 black and white Cruella de Vil-style wig
  • Craft paint: red, black and blue
  • 1 foam craft paintbrush
  • Pumpkin carving tool

How to make it:

  1. First find an image of Cruella de Vil that you think that looks good
  2. Using the image as a guide, use the pumpkin carving tool to make some of t he most prominent features of Cruella de Vil: her wide smile, high-arched eye brows, and her sneaky eyes. (See photo.)
  3. Using craft paint, paint around each carved out feature to exaggerate the make-up that she wears. (See photo.)
  4. Top with the wig, and she is ready for Halloween night!  (See photo.)

Tips:

  1. The wig is what makes this pumpkin stand out. Even if the carving of the face isn't perfect, it will still look like her with the white and black wig.
