Pumpkin Outdoor Greeter


It is not very difficult to make the people saying aaahs and ooohs when they meet your pumpkin outdoor Greeter. All the things that you need are armature wires, staples and staple gun, 1,2 m tall wood post, polyester fiberfill and quilt batting, old man’s cloths- flannel shirt, gloves, belt, shoes, shirt, jeans and turtleneck, a pair of pants, a pumpkin, battery powered lights.

Fist you have to curve a face on the pumpkin, Make the holes bigger, as light will pass through and you will have better results. From the armature wires make a skeleton for your Halloween door greeter. Form his arms and hands, for the body use also may use wooden post. Depending on how big you want the Greeter to be, cut two pieces of wire and spoil them to form a cross. On the bottom of the cross attach the wooden post. With the batting wrap the hands and the arms but leave around 20 sm on each end. When the greeter’s skeleton is big enough you can dress him with the flannel shirt and the shirt over. Cut out from the wire other 8 pieces long about 6-7 sm. Now you have the other four fingers for each hand. Twist the fingers around the piece of wire you have left loner and you have the Greeter’s hands. For more realistic look cover his hands with gloves. Over the pants roll pieces of quilt batting. Tie them with ropes or sew them and put on the jeans over the underwear pants. Place the curved pumpkin on the top and the face is ready too. If you want place the lights onto the pumpkin and in the evenings you can switch them on. Place the body on a chair in front of your house, near the front door. Under his legs place the old shoes and cover half of them with the jeans.

Your neighbors will be surprised and your hove will have really more festive look, the kids will have fun every time they pass near your house and will be happy too.
