Paper Mâché Jack-O-Lanterns:

Time to get a little messy and bring back an old school art with a vintage vibe! With your choice of a few small buckets or one large one, you will spiff up that boring plastic Halloween candy bucket into an entirely new creation of your own design. This will be a two-session class. The first day, we will take news paper and glue to plaster a 3D character face onto your bucket, this will take a few days to dry. Day two your creative genius will develop deeper when you paint your bucket with a curious new face. Join me to bring new life to an old tradition! Note: If you would like to do a large bucket, please bring your own plastic Jack-O-Lantern candy pale.
