How to make a Powtown Pumpkin Person

Isabelle Southcott shows us how.

She gathered her materials: sticks, twine, straw, clothes, and a pumpkin. She tied the sticks into a rough body form, dressed it, and added straw. The pumpkin attaches to the sticks via a small hole. Next, paint a face on, set it up, and voila: your very own Powtown Pumpkin Powell River Kings player.

Gather your materials

Tie sticks.

Stuff the clothes

Just a small hole

Paint, don't carve, your pumpkin head.

Et voila!
