  • Great job. I'd strongly suggest wearing a respirator when sanding and painting. You're doing a number on your lungs in the canopy with all that.

    I clicked on how to cut a pumpkin and i got IT , what a great master piece
  • Kara....WOW!!!...my first time watching your incredible creativity!!! You are AWESOME girl!!! What wonderful unique pieces you make!! My paternal Grandma began training me in all things artsy at the young age of 3 or 4 years old!!! So...I've been into art, of all mediums, for over 60 years!!! Again, what incredible talent you have!!! Your eye for detail is amazing!!! One comment, I have seen from others, PLEASE WEAR SOME SORT OF MASK!!! I know first hand, the toll these chemicals take on our precious lungs!!! So, think of it as your safety tip you gave about the hot glue!!!! If you use hot glue...you have burned yourself at some point!! Your precious, valuable lungs, are also being burned!!! Want you safe and healthy to continue to dazzle us with your unique talents!! Thank you so very much for sharing with us Kara!!! Keep on crafting girl!!! 🎃

    Kara this is absolutely amazing. Your skill is top notch. I've got to mention your hot melt process scared the hell out of me. I used to work with it in a professional high volume manner and we always had a bucket of water nearby to plunge a hand or in your case a foot in to stop the burning if you mess up. That stuff doesn't come off until cool.

    This is SO freaking awesome! Funny enough, I was watching MAKING IT and saw the giant foam pumpkin and googled how to make one and here you are! GREAT JOB and THANK YOU for this tutorial! Can't wait to make it
  • @RANDALLOLOGY
    I loved this video. You showed from start to finish each step. The painting turned out perfect to look like a pumpkin does. I used to do stuff like that back in the day. But was limited on the craft supplies that is available today. I made a black fuzzy 12 foot spider that had a 5 foot fuzzy butt. Used 2 inch round red lenses for lighted eyes. Used it 2 seasons till someone paid me good money for it. Can't do that stuff anymore due to a stroke. Glad you did a video on it. Keep up the good work
  • @Sandcem
    Wow! Great work as always. Very cool to see the whole pumpkin evolve.
  • Hands down the coolest thing I've seen on YouTube! So much detail and great tips. You've inspired me to give this a go. Thanks so much!
  • I am obsessed with this! You are so inspiring and what a talent you have!!
