Make a Large Halloween Jack O Lantern and DIY Giant Foam Pumpkin

How to make DIY giant foam pumpkins and Halloween jack o lanterns. We try and answer questions of how we make these large DIY Halloween props. Were to get large blocks of foam. How to cut foam and which hand tools and foam cutting equipment we use. How to hard coat foam and make foam props hard and protected. Which kind foams we use and the steps we take to create these large Styrofoam sculptures. What sizes and shapes we try and make and how to sculpt them. Tips on containing the foam bead mess as well as several different materials you can use to coat the foam. How to carve heirloom style pumpkins and whimsical stems. How do we paint the large pumpkins and pumpkin stems. We have been posting several videos of us making these Halloween decorations over the years. Since there are so many videos with different steps and information we thought we'd help make it easier by combining clips into one episode. Kind of like an ultimate source of how we make these giant foam props. Please be sure and leave us any questions or other ideas we could do.
