I want to turn my pumpkin into a mickey head for work. We were given pumpkins and well mine kind of looked boring in the front desk with nothing done to it.

I want to make big ears and stick it on but I wondering what I can make the ears out of so they stay up.

I was going to do a NY Yankees pumpkin but I decided the mouse would be better since I live at the end of November for Disney.

Oh brillant. then I can shove something in them and the pumpkin to get them to stand up. I gotta see if we have black spray paint.

Thanks I hadn't thought of that.

It's not hard at all. I drew the eyes etc with erasable pen that colored it with permanent markers. I traced a cup for the ears, made a little tab on the back to tuck under and used pins to hold them in place.
