Easy Steps to Craft a DIY Halloween No Carve Cat Pumpkin

Step One: Glue your pumpkins

Find two pumpkins that would make a good cat shape. We used small pie pumpkins and mini pumpkins, one longer for the body and one rounder for the head.

You’ll first need to carve the stem off the body so that you can hot glue the head pumpkin to it.

Step Two: Create The Face

Cut out the eyes and nose from black paper. Glue these onto the face of the top pumpkin using a hot glue gun, or double-sided tape or glue dots if you don’t have a hot glue gun around the house.

Step Three: Add the Facial features

For this next step, cut out ears from black paper and add another layer overtop for good contrast by using colorful patterned paper. Feel free to add some design to the white area of the ears!

You can make whiskers by gluing cut black pipe cleaners on each side of the nose. Have fun and make them as long as ou want. Remember, cats have whiskers that can span upwards of five inches!

Step Four: Tie it All Together

Last but not least, put a simple little scarf surrounding the stem of the bottom pumpkin near where it joins the bottom of the top pumpkin. We simply used ribbon and glued the two ends on the back.

Then, add another ribbon vertical to the body, add a few cute buttons, and you’re done!

How to Make Your DIY No-Carve Cat Pumpkin Even Scarier

Add red goo dripping down from the cat pumpkins’ mouths

This year they’ll be even more terrifying when they drip blood down from their mouths! To achieve this effect, you can use red puffy paint!

Be sure to watch it as it happens so that you can create an even more realistic effect.

Hang spiderwebs over each eye

Use spiderweb (the kind you can pull out like string) and drape over the cat’s eyes or head.

You can even add toy mini spiders to create an even spookier feel!

Use an all-black pumpkin to create an eerie effect

By painting your cat pumpkin all black, you’ll create an eerie and spooky effect that will make your guests (and family) scream! To get started, start by choosing sturdy pumpkins.

Then, apply a layer of black acrylic paint using a brush. Make sure to cover the entire pumpkin in order to create the darkest effect possible. Let the paint dry completely. You may need to add two layers.

You can also spray paint your pumpkin black but make sure to use a drop cloth and do this outside for ventilation.

Dress up your cat pumpkin with some spooky accessories

This is a great way to add some extra personality and flavor to your pumpkin. Start by choosing something simple like a witch’s hat or a skeleton mask.

Then, get creative and add anything you think will make the costume more interesting (like green onion bulbs).

You can use fake teeth and claws to create a more realistic effect, or you can use a hairdryer to create a fierce appearance by adding a burn affect to the pumpkin.

Add some faux bones to the scene

If you’re looking to get your DIY no-carve pumpkin even scarier this year, then you need to add some faux bones to the scene.

Faux bones can be made from anything that’s sturdy enough – like small pieces of wood or plastic. You can attach them using a variety of methods, but the simplest is just using hot glue.

This will create a realistic appearance that will really creep out your friends and family!
